Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Etruscan influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a wheel or krater, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side features an Etruscan-style lion, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations during this time period.
