Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a lion's head on one side, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, particularly in the Ionian region where Teos was located. The lion's head symbolized strength, courage, and royalty, and its inclusion on the coin may have been meant to convey the power and prestige of the city-state of Teos.
