Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features the image of a mythical creature called a "satyr," which is half-human and half-goat. The satyr is depicted with a large beard and is shown holding a jug of wine, symbolizing the rich agricultural and viticultural traditions of the region where the coin was minted.
