Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Lycian and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in Lycian coinage, while the reverse side features an image of a Persian king, likely Artaxerxes III, who ruled the Achaemenid Empire at the time the coin was minted. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Lycian city-states and the Persian Empire during this period.
