Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side depicts a lion attacking a stag. This imagery is significant because it represents the struggle between the Persian Empire, which controlled Cilicia at the time, and the city-state of Athens, which was a major power in the Greek world. The use of Athena and the lion on the coin may have been a way for the mint to express their political allegiance or to commemorate a significant event or victory.
