Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a Griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbolism represents the city's connection to both Greek culture and the mythological world.
