A symbol of protection inspired by the coinage of ancient Taras, this coin features a turquoise scallop shell and Taras, son of Poseidon, riding a dolphin.
Greek mythology tells the story of Tara’s shipwreck. His father rescued him by sending a dolphin he rode ashore, where he founded the city of Taras, naming it after himself. Scallop shell icons were commonly used in the coinage of ancient Taras and are symbols of protection.
