Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Greek hero, possibly Hercules or Apollo, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dolphin, which was a common symbol in ancient Greek coinage. However, the coin's inscription is in the Oscan language, which was spoken by the ancient Italic peoples of southern Italy, indicating the cultural exchange and blending that occurred in the region during this time period.
