Hello,
I've been wondering. Can anyone enlighten me about this coin?
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces135225.html
It looks interesting but I can hardly find any info except a bit on Wildwinds. Why was it made in the shape of this face/mask?
Also, is the obv info incorrect as it should be Silenus instead of Selinos?

Hmm, maybe there isn't much information after all. I just wonder if it's more like a token or like one of those dolphins from Olbia!
And thank you! I had no idea if it was supposed to be an error or the name of some local deity I'd never heard of, haha.
