Interesting fact

The Æ9 coin from Attuda (Caria) features a unique combination of symbols on its reverse side, including a crescent moon, a star, and a dolphin. This combination has been interpreted as a representation of the city's maritime and agricultural wealth, as well as its connection to the mythological story of Apollo and his son, Phaethon.
