Interesting fact
The Diodotos coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the reign of a lesser-known king of the ancient Greek city-state of Adana, which is now located in modern-day Turkey. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the Diodotos coin is considered valuable among collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
