Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a lion, which was a common motif in ancient Pamphylian coinage. The lion was a symbol of power and strength, and its depiction on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of the city's military prowess and economic prosperity.
