Interesting fact
The Kaulonia Stater was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and has been found in archaeological sites in Italy, Sicily, and North Africa. It features an image of a bull on one side and a dolphin on the other, which symbolizes the connection between the land and sea. The coin's design has been interpreted as a representation of the mythological story of the bull-slaying hero, Theseus, and his journey across the sea to Crete.
