Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbolism reflects the cultural influence of both Greece and Persia, as the griffin was a common motif in ancient Persian art and architecture.
