Interesting fact
The coin features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a portrait of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, while the reverse (back) side features a representation of the Greek goddess Athena. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region where the coin was minted, which was part of the Roman Empire but also had strong ties to Greek culture.
