Only six specimens are known to existInteresting fact
The Triobol coin from Serdaioi (Lucania) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and has a unique design. One side of the coin features a mythical creature called a "satyr" - a half-human, half-goat figure - while the other side features a horse. This design was meant to symbolize the connection between the natural world and the human world. The coin's design has been interpreted as a representation of the balance between nature and human civilization.
