Interesting fact
The Tritetartemorion coin from Methymna (Lesbos) is interesting because it features a unique design, with a facing head of a satyr on one side and a silhouette of a dolphin on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and is a rare example of a silver coin from this time period.
