Ancient Greece – Octopus Syracuse 1/2-gram gold coin 2022

In archetypical fashion, the Greek city-state of Syracuse chose an ocean creature for their coinage mascot: the octopus! During its better days, Syracuse teamed up with Sparta and Corinth to influence Greek going-ons and became a power to rival Athens by the fifth century BC. Unfortunately, their octopus coins were lost as the ancient Greeks got lost in their power. Hopefully this 0.5 gram pure gold replica helps write a better legacy!
