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. The Griffin was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology, and its presence on the coin may indicate that the city of Aspendos was seeking to convey its own strength and resilience through its currency.
