Interesting fact

The coin features a unique combination of symbols and letters that reflect the cultural influences of the region where it was minted. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a helmeted head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side shows a dolphin, which was a common symbol of the ancient Greek city-state of Syracuse. The use of both Greek and Roman elements on the coin highlights the cultural exchange and blending that occurred in Sicily during this time period.
