Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Kamarina (Sicily) is interesting because it features a unique combination of Greek and indigenous Sicilian elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side features a Sicilian horseman, which is a nod to the island's native culture. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Greek colonization in Sicily.
