Interesting fact
The Diobol coin from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 1.00g, is interesting because it features a unique design on its obverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a deity or monarch, the Diobol coin bears the image of a dolphin, which was a symbol of the island of Rhodes and represented the city's maritime power and trade connections. This design choice reflects the importance of the sea and trade to the economy and culture of Rhodes during that time period.
