A favorite coin of mine in the collection of Nickle Galleries is this silver drachm from the island of Thasos in northern Greece, ca. 550-465 BCE. Each city-state in ancient Greece produced their own coinage. Thasos is known for their coins with the depiction of a Satyr running off with a Nymph. Satyrs and nymphs were part of Dionysus’ entourage who was the god of theater and wine.
