Interesting fact
The Æ13 coin from Kefra (Punic Sicily) features a unique blend of Greek and Carthaginian influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a humanized representation of the goddess Tanit, who was worshipped by the Carthaginians, while the reverse (back) side features a traditional Greek motif of a dolphin surrounded by waves. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of Sicily during the 4th century BC, when the island was a battleground between Greek and Carthaginian forces.
