Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, believed to be a representation of the Greek goddess Demeter, who was revered for her role in agriculture and fertility. The reverse (back) side of the coin depicts a four-horse chariot, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage and symbolized power, strength, and speed.
