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. This coin was used for trade and commerce during the 4th century BC and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
