Interesting fact

The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) driven by the goddess Nike (Victory). This design was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage and symbolized the power and prestige of the city-state of Smyrna.
