Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a seated Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, on one side, and a winged Nike (Victory) on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of King Evagoras I, who ruled Soloi (Cilicia) from 410 BC to 375 BC. The coin's design reflects the cultural influence of the Greeks in the region and highlights the importance of Athena and Nike in Greek mythology.
