Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a helmeted head of Athena, a common motif in Greek coinage, while the reverse (back) side shows a horseman, which was a popular design element in Roman coins. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Greece and Rome during this time period.
