Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of a Griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbolism represents the dual nature of the coin, with Athena representing wisdom and strength, and the Griffin representing protection and vigilance.
