Interesting fact
The Æ14 coin from Gela (Sicily) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a dolphin jumping out of the waves. This symbol was likely chosen because dolphins were considered sacred animals in ancient Greek culture, and were often associated with the god Apollo. The use of this design on the coin may have been meant to convey the idea of the city's connection to the sea and its importance in trade and commerce.
