Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a distinctive image of a flying eagle, which was a symbol of the city of Tanagra and represented the city's connection to the god Apollo. The eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, ready to take flight, and its sharp talons are visible beneath its body. This image was a common motif on coins from Tanagra and was meant to convey the city's strength, power, and connection to the divine.
