Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a winged Victory (Nike) holding a wreath and a palm branch. This design was common for coins issued by the Cycladic islands during the Hellenistic period, as Athena and Nike were both important deities in the ancient Greek pantheon.
