Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a helmeted head 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 a common motif in ancient Greek coinage and symbolized the power and influence of the city-state of Leukas.
