Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a helmeted head of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, which was a common motif on ancient Greek coins. The reverse (back) side of the coin depicts a grazing horse, which was a symbol of prosperity and abundance in ancient Greek culture. The coin's design and imagery reflect the cultural and religious values of the ancient Greeks, and its small size and bronze material make it a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians.
