Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a gorgon on one side, which was a common symbol used by the ancient Greeks to ward off evil. The gorgon was a mythical creature with snakes for hair and a gaze that could turn people to stone. The use of this image on the coin may have been intended to protect the holder from harm or to convey the idea of the coin's value being as solid as stone.
