Interesting fact
The Æ13 coin from Temnos (Aeolis) features a unique combination of symbols on its reverse side, including a stylized dolphin and a crescent moon. This symbolism has been interpreted as a representation of the city's maritime trade and its connection to the ancient Greek deity Apollo, who was often associated with the moon and the sea.
