Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Carthaginian influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a classical Greek-style head of the goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side features a Phoenician-style inscription in the Punic language, which was spoken by the ancient Carthaginians. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Sicily during the Punic Wars, when the island was a battleground between Greek and Carthaginian forces.
