Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a lion's head on the obverse (front) side and a fulmen (thunderbolt) on the reverse (back) side. This combination has led some numismatists to suggest that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a significant event or victory, such as a military triumph or the founding of a new colony. Additionally, the use of a lion's head on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the power and strength of the city of Rhegion, which was an important center of trade and commerce in ancient Magna Graecia (southern Italy).
