Interesting fact

The 1 Triens coin from Populonia (Etruria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a dolphin jumping out of the water, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a common motif in Etruscan art and symbolized the connection between the Etruscan civilization and the sea.
