Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Termessos (Lycia) features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side shows an inscription in the Lycian language, which is a testament to the diverse cultural influences present in the region during that time.
