Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Kelenderis (Cilicia) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek world, and its design was influenced by the Greek goddess Athena. The obverse side of the coin features an image of Athena's head, while the reverse side depicts an owl, which was a symbol associated with Athena and represented wisdom and knowledge. The use of Athena's image on the coin highlights the cultural and economic ties between the city of Kelenderis and the wider Greek world during this time period.
