Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Near Eastern influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse (back) side features a seated figure of a goddess, which was a common feature in ancient Near Eastern coins. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred between the ancient Greek and Near Eastern civilizations during this time period.
