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 (modern-day Turkey). The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΝΑΓΙΔΟΣ" (Nagidos) in ancient Greek. The use of lions as a symbol on coins was common in ancient times, as they were seen as powerful and regal animals. The Nagidos Stater is a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
