Interesting fact
The Nagidos Stater, which was minted in 380 BC, features a unique design on its obverse side. It depicts a lion's head, which is not commonly seen on ancient Greek coins. This design choice may have been influenced by the city's proximity to the Persian Empire, which was known for its use of lions as symbols of power and royalty. The lion's head on the Nagidos Stater may have been intended to convey the city's connection to the Persian Empire and its cultural influence.
