Interesting fact
The Nagidos Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Nagidos, which was located in the region of Cilicia (now modern-day Turkey). The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΝΑΓΙΔΟΣ" (Nagidos) in Greek letters. The use of Greek letters and imagery on the coin suggests that Nagidos had strong cultural and trade ties with the Greek world during this time period.
