Interesting fact
The Litra coin from Kamarina (Sicily) was used as a form of currency during the 5th century BC, and its design featured the image of a dolphin, which was a symbol of the city. The use of dolphins on coins was a common practice in ancient Greece and Sicily, as dolphins were considered sacred animals and were associated with the god Apollo. The image of the dolphin on the Litra coin was meant to signify the city's connection to the sea and its maritime trade.
