Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trihemiobol coin of Amyntas III is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Macedonian elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the head of Zeus, while the reverse side features a horse and a charioteer, which were symbols of Macedonian royalty. This blend of Greek and Macedonian motifs reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the two regions during this time period.
