Medea On Coins

Surprisingly, the imagery of Jason and any of the characters surrounding him almost never appear on any coinage. I would assume that his is because the story of Jason and the Argonauts did not, apparently, gain much popularity in the ancient world until the Hellenistic period, by which time coinage designs had become somewhat fixed and most cities had already decided upon their local imagery to be used on coinage.

Unlike more well-established Greek myths (such as Hercules), the locations mentioned in the Jason story do not seem to have taken much pride in their association with these myths. Not enough to boast about such association on their later coins, in any event.
