Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of a young woman, possibly a representation of the goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a dolphin, which was a symbol of the city of Kephaloidion. This coin was likely used for everyday transactions and trade in the ancient Greek city.
