The most valuable Greek coin ever minted came from a city called Panticapaeum, which produced a coin with a three-dimensional face of Pan. He's kind of turned in the image, and it's considered one of the great works of art from ancient history. It’s bold! I believe one of them sold for around $5 million because of the exceptional artistry.

Greek coins are so expensive because of the artwork. Some of them are even signed by the artists who made them. That’s something that really sets Greek coins apart from Roman ones. Roman coins have good artwork too, and Rome was more organized in terms of minting, but Greek coins are just on another level artistically.
