Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a helmeted head of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. This design was a common motif on ancient Greek coins, but the specific rendition on this coin from Histaia (Euboia) is particularly noteworthy for its intricate details and artistic craftsmanship.
