Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, possibly a representation of the goddess Demeter, while the reverse (back) side depicts a dolphin, which was a symbol of the city of Kephaloidion. This combination of a human figure and an animal symbolizes the connection between the natural world and human life, reflecting the importance of agriculture and the sea in the ancient Greek world.
