Interesting fact
The Tritartemorion coin from Mende (Macedon) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a tripod. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek world, and its small weight of 0.37g makes it a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians.
