Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Roman goddess, likely Juno or Venus, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dolphin, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Central Italy during this time period, where Greek and Roman cultures were interacting and influencing one another.
