Interesting fact
The Æ15 coin from Kefra (Punic Sicily) features a unique blend of Phoenician and Greek influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a Phoenician-style head of a bearded man, while the reverse (back) side features a Greek-style image of a dolphin, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history of exchange and cultural exchange that occurred in the ancient Mediterranean world.
