Interesting fact
The Mesma Stater, which was minted in the 4th century BC, features a unique design on its obverse side. It depicts a lion's head, which is not commonly found on ancient Greek coins. The lion's head is believed to represent the city of Mesma's connection to the Greek city of Syracuse, which was known for its association with the mythological figure of the lion. This design element sets the Mesma Stater apart from other coins of the time and makes it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
