Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Obol coin from Koroneia (Boeotia) is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of the goddess Athena and a hoplite (a heavily armored infantryman) standing left, which sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
