Interesting fact
The Lycian League Stater coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient region of Lycia, which is now part of 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 "ΛYKIΩN," which means "of the Lycians" in ancient Greek. This coin was used widely in trade and commerce throughout the ancient Greek world and is considered a valuable collector's item today.
