Comment
An apparently unique coin that is considered a probable emergency or special issue.Interesting fact
The ⅛ Stater coin from Dardanos (Troad) was minted during the reign of King Alexander the Great's father, Philip II of Macedon. It features an image of a lion on one side and an inscription on the other, which translates to "King Philip" in ancient Greek. This coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Dardanos, which was located in the Troad region of modern-day Turkey.
