Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a lion, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Cilicia. The lion was also associated with the god Apollo, who was revered in Soloi, and the coin's design may have been meant to convey the city's connection to the deity.
