Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a winged horse (Pegasus) and a small image of the goddess Nike (Victory). This combination of symbols suggests that the coin was minted during a time of military victory and prosperity for the city of Alabanda.
