Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of Alexander the Great, while the reverse (back) side features a seated image of the goddess Athena. This coin was minted during Alexander's reign, and it's interesting to note that the image of Athena on the reverse side was a common feature on many coins minted during his rule, as she was considered a patron deity of the Macedonian kingdom.
