Interesting fact
The Teos Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Teos, which was located in the region of Ionia (now modern-day Turkey). The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΤΕΩΣ" (Teos) in ancient Greek. The lion's head symbolized the city's connection to the Greek god Dionysus, who was often depicted with a lion's head. The coin was used for trade and commerce, and its value was equivalent to 12 drachmas, which was a significant amount of money at the time.
