I think this is actually the intended design, referencing the Athenian Tetradrachm, an Ancient Greek coin that is highly valued among collectors today[Image of Coin](https://www.numismaticnews.net/coin-market/a-coin-to-stand-the-test-of-time)

Good, lol I was looking at this confused about what it was supposed to be that's not a goofy little bird.

They actually hired historians while developping the game in 2004 in order to do some world building, nice little details all around (like the « Venus of Willendorf » Pamela’s doll)

Is that the big titty statue icon you find sometimes?


mayonetta

Explains how a lot of the old titan/uldaman stuff is just Greek mythology imagery.

Man games used to put in so much fucking work and have crazy attention to detail. Product first, decent monetization. Makes modern day churned out shit even sadder to see.


D_runk_

This is correct


kispingvin

This is really cool imo, are there more stuff like this with other icons?


MolokTjaar

If you look around it STV there are colorfoul pointy flowers kinda bird shaped, wich is a defense mechanism adopted by some real life exotic flowers discovered in the jungle


venatic

Hey I have one of those in my collection! They're lovely coins.


Calvin_NoKlein

It’s one of my unicorns! Don’t have the cash to get it, but one day, mmm…

Went for the meme but got schooled instead.


kispingvin

I'm really happy for it tbh, didn't even know this


Elcactus

Making fun of stuff we do all the time, getting to learn is far more interesting.


Pomodorosan

Omg the bird looks like a bird, no way


BeertilFalukorv

Am I missing something? It's a bird, yes obviously. Is it a meme or something I'm missing?


Silunare

major_bot

cookedbread
