Interesting fact
The Lycian League was a confederation of cities in ancient Lycia, a region in present-day Turkey. The league was formed in the 2nd century BC and lasted until the 4th century AD. The coin , the Æ15, was issued during the reign of King Antiochus I of Commagene, who ruled from 30 BC to 27 BC. The coin features the image of a lion, which was a common motif in Lycian coinage, and was likely used to symbolize the league's strength and power.
