Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a depiction of the mythical creature, the Chimera, which had the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and the tail of a serpent. This symbolized the power and strength of the city of Delphi, which was known for its famous oracle and religious significance in ancient Greece.
