Interesting fact

The Dolphin coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Olbia, which was located in the region of Skythia (modern-day Ukraine). The coin features an image of a dolphin on one side and a wheel on the other, which symbolized the city's dependence on trade and commerce. Despite its small weight of 2.8 grams, the coin played a significant role in the economy of the city and surrounding regions.
