Interesting fact

The obverse (front) side of the Thasian Stater features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Thasos, located in the Thracian Islands, and its design reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time.
