Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin from Aspendos (Pamphylia) is that it features a unique combination of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side shows a Persian-style altar with a fire burning on top of it. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region, which was part of the Persian Empire at the time the coin was minted.
