Olbia, an ancient Greek colony on the Black Sea (modern Ukraine), minted small cast bronze coins in the shape of dolphins between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. This “proto-money” was likely used as a form of currency that occupied the space between ingots and coins. Scholars suggest they may have served as votive offerings or had symbolic significance in addition to their monetary function.
