Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a winged Nike (Victory) standing on the prow of a ship. This design was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage and symbolized the power and prosperity of the city-state of Kranaos.
