Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm (400 BC - 370 BC) from Syangela (Caria) made of Silver weighing 4.24 g is that it features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΣYΑΝΓΕΛΑ" (Syangela), indicating the city's name in ancient Greek. This coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Syangela, which was located in the region of Caria (now modern-day Turkey).
