Lindgren A229AInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Phoenician and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Phoenician-style head of a king, while the reverse side features a Greek-style owl, symbolizing wisdom and prosperity. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred between the Phoenicians and Greeks in the ancient world.
