Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Carthaginian influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a Greek-style head of the goddess Arethusa, while the reverse (back) side features a Carthaginian-style image of a dolphin and a crescent moon. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of Sicily during this time period, when the island was a melting pot of Greek, Carthaginian, and indigenous cultures.
