Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a mythical creature called a "gorgoneion" on one side, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. The gorgoneion is a depiction of the head of Medusa, a monster from Greek mythology, with snakes for hair and a fierce expression. The use of this image on the coin may have been intended to convey the power and authority of the issuing authority, or to ward off evil spirits.
