Famous group of Greek coinage called:
"The Dolphin Riders of Taras"
They have varying images but one thing in common between all of them is there is a dolphin rider. (Taras, son of Poseidon)
Excited to finally add one to my collection! I saw another one on ebay. It was a nicer coin, but it was far too expensive for me but after a long time searching I found this one instead for 1/5th of the price and its very nice quality! Especially for a basically 2250 year old coin! I am very excited and happy because I have been looking for a complete dolphin forever, rider is nice and Obverse with the horse is good. Overall both sides are centered well so I'm very happy. So hard to find a dolphin that has his nose and tail. I'm pleased
