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 Greek culture. The lion was also associated with the goddess Artemis, who was revered in the city of Lampsakos. The inclusion of this image on the coin may have been intended to convey the city's connection to the goddess and to emphasize its wealth and power.
