Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a lion, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Pamphylia. The lion was also associated with the god Apollo, who was revered in Aspendos, and the coin may have been used as a form of offering to the deity. Additionally, the coin's design and weight conform to the standardized currency system used throughout the ancient Greek world, indicating the city's connection to the broader Hellenistic economy.
