Interesting fact
The Krithote coin features a unique combination of symbols on its reverse side, including a stylized dolphin and a crescent moon. This combination has been interpreted as a representation of the city's maritime trade and its connection to the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite, who was often associated with dolphins and the moon.
