Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a depiction of a lion's head, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. The lion was considered a symbol of strength, courage, and royalty, and its use on coins was meant to convey the power and authority of the issuing government or ruler.
