Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Ohrlocke Type) coin from the Uncertain Dacian tribes (Dacians) features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a dolphin on the reverse side. This dolphin motif is not commonly found on coins from this region and time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
