Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a stylized head of a satyr, while the reverse (back) side depicts a mythical creature called a "sphinx" - a creature with the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the head of a woman. This coin is one of the earliest known depictions of a sphinx in ancient Greek art.
