Presented is a finely crafted modern restrike, meticulously replicating a classical coin from ancient Ainos (Aenus), a prosperous Greek colony situated strategically near the mouth of the Hebros river in Thrace. The obverse showcases an expressive frontal portrait of Hermes, the revered Olympian deity known for commerce, travel, and communication. Hermes is depicted with an iconic petasos—a wide-brimmed hat symbolizing protection during journeys—accentuating his significance as a divine guardian of trade routes and travelers.
The reverse side features the majestic figure of a standing goat, a powerful emblem strongly tied to pastoral wealth, fertility, and natural abundance in ancient Greek symbolism. Accompanied by the clear Greek inscription "ΑΙΝΙΟΝ," explicitly denoting the coin's origin from Ainos, the design is further enhanced by elegant laurel branches signifying prosperity and victory. This exquisite replica allows collectors and numismatic enthusiasts to intimately experience a tangible connection to ancient Greek history, artfully commemorating the cultural and economic prominence of Ainos within the ancient world.
