Interesting fact

The Lokroi Opuntii Stater is a rare and valuable ancient Greek coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a depiction of the goddess Athena on the obverse (front) side, and a dolphin and trident on the reverse (back) side. This combination of symbols may have been meant to represent the city's maritime power and connection to the sea, as well as its cultural and religious ties to the wider Greek world.
