Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Lycian elements in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a Greek-style head of Apollo, while the reverse (back) side features a Lycian-style image of a stag, which was a symbol of the Lycian league. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region and the exchange of ideas that occurred between different civilizations in the ancient world.
