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 horse's head and a wheel, which symbolized the city of Larissa Phrikonis and its association with horse breeding and trade.
