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 side of the coin depicts a Greek-style head of the goddess Athena, while the reverse side shows a Sicilian-style image of a crab, which was a symbol of the island's fertility and abundance. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of ancient Sicily and the exchange of ideas between different civilizations.
