Interesting fact
The Aetolian League was a confederation of cities in ancient Greece that was formed in the 3rd century BC. The league was known for its military prowess and its ability to mint coins that were widely accepted throughout the region. The Æ16 coin was one of the standard circulation coins minted by the Aetolian League during its time, and it features the image of a bull on one side and a dolphin on the other. The use of these animals on the coin was meant to symbolize the league's strength and power.
