Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Stater (600 BC - 550 BC) from Teos (Ionia) made of Gold weighing 16.574 g is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a lion, which was a common motif in ancient Persian coinage, while the reverse side features a Greek legend and a depiction of the mythical creature, the Griffin. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the cultural exchange that took place during the time period.
