Interesting fact
The ⅒ Stater coin from Kyrene (Kyrenaica) was minted during the reign of Magas, who was a Macedonian general and one of the generals of Alexander the Great. The coin features an image of the goddess Athena on one side and an image of a lion on the other, which symbolizes the power and strength of the city-state of Kyrene. The coin was used as a form of currency for trade and commerce, and it is considered a rare and valuable artifact today, with only a few examples known to exist in the world.
