Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a mythical creature called the Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek culture. The Griffin is depicted on the obverse side of the coin, while the reverse side features a simplistic design of a wheel and a spear. This coin was used in the ancient city of Aspendos, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the region of Pamphylia. Despite being over 2,000 years old, this coin remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the advanced craftsmanship and artistry of ancient civilizations.
