Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Samos (Ionia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and its design featured a unique combination of symbols, including a lion's head, a bull's head, and a dolphin. These symbols were meant to represent the island's strong maritime culture and its connection to the sea.
