Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, the Girdle of Hippolyta, which is a mythological element from ancient Greek mythology. The Girdle of Hippolyta was a gift from the goddess Aphrodite to Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, and it was said to have the power to make the wearer invincible in battle. The coin's design incorporates this mythological element, making it a fascinating and unique collector's item.
