Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbolized the dual nature of the city of Aspendos, which was located at the crossroads of two major trade routes and was known for its wealth and strategic importance. The Griffin image on the coin was meant to represent the city's strength and protection.
