Interesting fact
The Hemilitron coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Sicily and features an image of a mythical creature called a "Hemilitron," which is a half-human, half-lion creature. This coin was minted during the reign of King Leptines, who ruled over the city-state of Adranon in the 4th century BC. Despite being made of bronze, the Hemilitron coin was considered valuable and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
