Interesting fact
The coin features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a helmeted head of Athena on one side and a winged horse (possibly representing Pegasus) on the other. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the city's connection to the goddess Athena and its reputation for horse breeding and trading.
