Interesting fact
The 1 Semuncia coin from Vetulonia (Etruria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized image of a dolphin. This dolphin motif was a common symbol in Etruscan culture, often associated with the goddess of the sea, Salus. The use of this symbol on the coin may indicate the importance of maritime trade and commerce in the region during that time period.
