Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side features a shield with the letter "TA" (for Tanagra) and a dolphin, which was a symbol of the city. This coin was likely used for everyday transactions and trade in the ancient Greek city of Tanagra.
