Interesting fact
The Æ15 coin from Epidauros (Argolis) features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a mythical creature known as a "Triton" - a half-human, half-fish creature that was believed to inhabit the sea. This design was likely chosen to reflect the city's strong maritime tradition and its connection to the sea.
