Interesting fact
The Tarsos Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Tarsos, which is now located in modern-day Turkey. The coin features an image of the Greek god Apollo on one side and a lion on the other, symbolizing the city's connections to both Greek culture and the natural world. Despite being over 2,000 years old, many of these coins have survived to the present day and are highly prized by collectors and historians.
