Interesting fact
The Kentoripai Semis coin features a unique combination of Greek and indigenous Sicilian elements on its design. On one side, it depicts a classic Greek image of a nymph, while on the other side, it shows a native Sicilian warrior wearing a pileus, a traditional cone-shaped hat worn by ancient Sicilians. This blending of cultures reflects the rich history of Sicily as a melting pot of different civilizations.
