Interesting fact
The Vestini tribe's Standard circulation coin 1 Semuncia (275 BC - 225 BC) made of Bronze weighing 23.10 g is interesting because it features a unique combination of elements on its design. On one side, it depicts a horse's head, symbolizing strength and mobility, while on the other side, it shows a dolphin, representing the sea and the tribe's connection to the coast. This coin highlights the Vestini's cultural and economic ties to the Mediterranean region and showcases their artistic skills in metalwork.
