Interesting fact
The Kaulonia Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Kaulonia, which was located in present-day Calabria, Italy. The coin features an image of a bull on one side and a dolphin on the other, which symbolized the city's strong maritime and agricultural traditions. The use of silver in the coin's production also signified the city's wealth and economic importance in the ancient Greek world.
