Bull and a dolphin on this type of coins represents one of the finest examples of classical Greek art.

Thourioi was a Panhellenic colony founded in 443 B.C. near the ruins of the older city of Sybaris. The imagery reflects the region's strong ties to the sea (the dolphin) and the agricultural prosperity of the rich Italian plains (the bull).
