Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side depicts a Griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbolism represents the dual nature of the island's culture, which was influenced by both Greek and Thracian traditions.
