Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of imagery on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side depicts a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side shows a representation of a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin was used as a form of currency in a region that was influenced by both Greek and Persian cultures.
