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 of Abdera's connection to both the Greek and Persian empires, as Athena was a prominent deity in Greek mythology and griffins were associated with the Persian Empire. This blending of cultural influences is a fascinating aspect of the coin's design and speaks to the diverse cultural heritage of the region.
