Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of animal symbols on its obverse side, including a lion's head, a bull's head, and a dolphin. This blend of land and sea creatures may reflect the city's strategic location on the coast and its connection to the surrounding region's rich agricultural and maritime resources.
