Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a helmeted head of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. The helmet is decorated with a spiral motif, which was a common feature of ancient Greek helmets. The reverse (back) side of the coin shows a grazing horse, which was a symbol of strength and prosperity in ancient Greece. The horse is depicted in a naturalistic style, with detailed renderings of its mane and tail. The coin's design reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the ancient Greek world, and its preservation provides a valuable glimpse into the lives and beliefs of people who lived over two millennia ago.
