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 symbolism reflects the city's strong cultural and religious ties to ancient Greece.
