Interesting fact
The coin features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse (front) side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a crescent moon. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in a specific religious or cultural context, possibly related to the worship of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare.
