Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a mythical creature called the "Gorgoneion" on one side, which is a representation of the Gorgon Medusa from Greek mythology. The Gorgoneion was a common motif on ancient Greek coins and was believed to have protective powers.
