Comment
Frolova Type IV.Interesting fact
The Triobol coin from Phanagoreia (Pontos) is interesting because it features a unique design, with three pelicans on one side and a Greek inscription on the other. The pelicans are depicted in a circular formation, with their beaks touching, symbolizing the unity and cooperation of the city-states in the region. This coin is a rare example of ancient Greek numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
