Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Kelenderis (Cilicia) was minted during the reign of King Artaxerxes III, who ruled the Achaemenid Empire from 359 to 338 BC. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a lion on the other, which was a common motif in Achaemenid coinage. The lion was a symbol of strength and power, and its inclusion on the coin may have been meant to convey the king's authority and dominance over the region.
