Interesting fact

The coin features a beautiful depiction of the Greek goddess Demeter on one side, and a horse on the other, symbolizing the rich agricultural heritage of the region. The coin's intricate design and artistic value have made it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
