Interesting fact
The Æ15 coin from Salamis (Attica) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized image of a dolphin on the obverse (front) side, and a quadripartite (divided into four parts) linear pattern on the reverse (back) side. This design was used to signify the coin's value and to distinguish it from other coins in circulation at the time.
