Interesting fact
The Æ18 coin from Sestos (Thrace) 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 is unlike any other coins from the same time period and region, making it a standout piece among ancient Greek coins.
