Interesting fact
The Æ14 coin from Ioulis (Cyclades) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized image of a dolphin on the obverse (front) side, and a trident on the reverse (back) side. The dolphin was a symbol of the island's maritime culture and trade, while the trident represented the power of the sea god Poseidon, who was revered in ancient Greece. The coin's design reflects the rich cultural heritage and economic significance of Ioulis during the Hellenistic period.
