Interesting fact
The Tritartemorion coin from Sikyon (Sikyonia) is interesting because it features a unique design, with the head of a mythical creature, known as a triton, on one side and a stylized dolphin on the other. This coin was used in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC and was worth about 30 drachmas, which was a significant amount at the time.
