Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a dolphin. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the city of Gargara and its connection to the goddess Athena, as well as the region's maritime trade and cultural exchange.
