Interesting fact
The Lycian League, which issued this coin, was a confederation of cities in the ancient region of Lycia in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). The league was unique in that it was a democratic union of cities, with each city having a vote in the league's decision-making process. This coin, the Hemidrachm, was likely used for everyday transactions and trade within the league's territory.
