Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a lion on the other, which was a common design element in ancient Greek coins. The lion was a symbol of power and strength, while Athena represented wisdom and protection. This coin was likely used for everyday transactions and trade in the ancient Greek city of Side, which was located in present-day Turkey.
