Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a dolphin. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the city's maritime power and its connection to the goddess Athena, who was often associated with wisdom, war, and the sea.
