Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a nereid (sea nymph) riding a dolphin. This imagery suggests that the coin was minted in a city that was both culturally and economically influenced by the ancient Greeks, and also had a strong maritime tradition.
