Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Stater (385 BC) from Soloi (Cilicia) made of Silver weighing 10.72 g is that it features an image of a seated Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, on one side, and a winged Nike (Victory) on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of King Evagoras I, who ruled Soloi from 400 to 380 BC. The coin's design reflects the city's cultural and political ties to ancient Greece, and it is considered a rare and valuable artifact among collectors of ancient coins.
