Greek Hemidrachm From Rhodes

Ancient Silver Hemidrachm From The Greek Isle Of Rhodes


Helios was adopted as the patron deity of Rhodes upon the city's foundation and became the nearly universal obverse design of their coinage over the next 400 years. The rose was a take on the Rhodes name, such puns were a common practice in ancient Greek coin design. Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and today is a major international tourist destination.
