Interesting fact
The Æ16 coin from Prostanna (Pisidia) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stork standing on a rocky outcrop, with its wings outstretched and a snake in its beak. This design is believed to represent the city's association with the god Apollo, who was often depicted with a stork, and the snake may symbolize the city's victory over its enemies.
