Interesting fact
The Æ11 coin from Miletopolis (Mysia) features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a crescent moon. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Miletopolis, which was located in modern-day Turkey.
