Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of a bearded man, believed to be a representation of the mythical founder of Kyme, Cymopoleon. The reverse (back) side of the coin depicts a dolphin, which was a symbol of the city and its connection to the sea. The coin's design and imagery reflect the rich history and cultural significance of Kyme in ancient Greece.
