Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a helmeted head of Athena, the 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 grazing deer, which was a symbol of abundance and prosperity in ancient Greece. The coin's design reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the people of Klazomenai during that time period.
