Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features the head of a young Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater. The reverse (back) side depicts a bunch of grapes, which is a common symbol associated with Dionysus and the island of Peparethos, which was known for its wine production.
