The coin is shaped to represent the face of Medusa. According to the myth, Medusa was originally a beautiful woman who caught the eye of the sea god Poseidon. For jealousy and rage, Athena transformed Medusa's hair into snakes and cursed her with the power to turn anyone who looked into her eyes into stone. Portrayed as a tragic figure, Medusa is represented as condemned to a life of loneliness and isolation.
