Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a mythical creature called a "dolphin-fish" or "dolphin-bear," which is a combination of a dolphin and a fish or a bear, depending on how it's interpreted. This unique design was meant to symbolize the city's maritime and commercial importance, as well as its connection to the sea and trade.
