    I know that many of them are based from coins, but there must be a resource that cleans up the images to how they 'should' look rather than a site just documenting the weathered remnants of the coin images.

    The art and symbolism is very fascinating to me, the Owl, The Hellenon Medusa, etc.
    Firstly, try to take a look into the previews.

    On the factions accustomed to use coins, I advice you to use numismatical sites. This one is really good for example. Yes, coins again, but note that some specimens are in really good conditions, especially silver and gold.

    On the Bactrian faction symbol: the panther is a dionysiac symbol offently used on early Greco-Bactrian coins, like those of Agathokles.
