Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features the image of a nymph, which is a mythological creature that is half-woman and half-bird. The nymph is depicted standing on a rocky outcropping, with her left hand resting on a tree trunk and her right hand holding a scepter. The image of the nymph is surrounded by a wreath of leaves, which adds to the coin's decorative appeal. This coin is a great example of the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient civilizations, and it's fascinating to think about the stories and myths that may have inspired its design.
