Interesting fact
The coin features a unique combination of symbols on its reverse side, including a dolphin, a trident, and a crescent moon. This combination has been interpreted as a representation of the city's maritime trade and cultural influences, as well as a possible allusion to the myth of Apollo and his association with the dolphin.
