Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a mythical creature called a Griffin. This combination of symbols represents the fusion of Greek and Persian cultures that existed in the region of Cilicia during the time the coin was minted.
