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 side of the coin depicts a Greek-style head of the goddess Persephone, while the reverse side features a Carthaginian-style image of a horse and a palm tree. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Kefra, which was a Phoenician colony in Sicily that was later absorbed into the Greek city-state of Leontini.
