Comment
Further reference: Colin Series 2.1.Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a stag's head and a spear. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin was issued during a time of military conflict, as Athena was often associated with warfare and the stag's head may represent the power and strength of the army.
