Interesting fact
The Æ9 coin from Ios (Cyclades) is a rare example of a coin that was issued with a unique design, featuring a stylized head of a goat on one side and a dolphin on the other. This design was likely meant to symbolize the island's strong maritime culture and its reputation for producing high-quality goat milk and cheese.
