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. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the region and highlights the rich history of Balbura (Lycia) during this time period.
