Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a rose. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Tanagra, and that it may have had a specific significance or meaning to the people who used it.
