Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Paros (Cyclades) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. It features an image of a dolphin on one side and a quadripartite incuse on the other, which was a common design element in ancient Greek coinage. The use of dolphins on coins was a symbol of the sea and the connection between the island of Paros and the Aegean Sea.
