Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Greek and indigenous Sicilian elements on its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side features a representation of a dolphin, which was a symbol of the indigenous Sicilian people. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the region where the coin was minted.
