Interesting fact
The Tritartemorion coin from Kamiros (Rhodes) is interesting because it features a unique design, with the head of a Gorgon on one side and a quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the city-state of Rhodes, which was a major maritime and trading power in the ancient Greek world.
