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 scallop shell on the other, which were symbols of the goddess Amphitrite, who was revered as the protector of the sea and the island's maritime trade.
