Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Aspendos (Pamphylia) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Aspendos during the 4th century BC. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a dolphin on one side, which was a symbol of the city's dependence on the sea and its maritime trade.
