Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a helmeted head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a horse and rider. This design was common for coins from Thronion during this time period, as Athena was revered as the patron deity of the city, and horses were an important symbol of strength and power.
