Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side depicts a mythical creature called the "Kentaur", which is a half-human, half-horse creature from Greek mythology. This coin is one of the earliest known examples of a Kentaur being featured on a coin, making it a unique and fascinating piece of history.
