Interesting fact

The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a winged Victory (Nike) standing on the prow of a ship. This design was common on coins from Paros during this time period and reflects the island's strong maritime culture and trading connections.
