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 on one side and an inscription on the other, which reads "Ναγιδος" (Nagidos) in ancient Greek. This coin was minted during the reign of King Artaxerxes III, who ruled the Achaemenid Empire from 385 BC to 375 BC. Despite being made of silver, the Nagidos Stater was not a high-denomination coin and had a relatively low value compared to other coins of the time.
