Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a helmeted head of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. The helmet is decorated with a spiral motif, which was a common feature of ancient Greek helmets. The reverse (back) side of the coin shows a horse's head and a flower, which were symbols of strength and fertility in ancient Greek culture.
