Comment
The dolphin on the reverse is known to the right or to the left.Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Emporion (Hispania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Emporion, which is now modern-day Spain. The coin features an image of the Greek goddess Hera on one side and a dolphin on the other, symbolizing the city's connection to the sea. The use of silver in the coin's production indicates that it was a valuable and widely accepted form of currency in the region.
