Interesting fact
The Phaselis Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Phaselis, which was located in present-day Turkey. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΦΑΣΗΛΙΤΩΝ," which means "of the Phaselites." The lion's head symbolizes the city's connection to the Lycian League, a confederation of cities in the region. The coin's design and inscription reflect the city's cultural and political ties to the surrounding region and demonstrate the importance of trade and commerce in the ancient world.
