Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, possibly a representation of the goddess Artemis, who was revered in the ancient Greek city of Leukas. The reverse (back) side of the coin depicts a stag, which was a symbol of fertility and prosperity in ancient Greek culture. The coin's design and imagery reflect the cultural and religious beliefs of the people of Leukas during the Hellenistic period.
