Interesting fact
The Tarsos Stater was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a living person, which was a revolutionary design choice at the time. The coin features a profile of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a bearded king on the other, believed to be King Artaxerxes II of Persia. This design choice symbolized the political alliance between the city-state of Tarsos and the Persian Empire.
