Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the earliest known portrait of a satyr, a mythological creature with human upper body and goat-like lower body, on its obverse side. This depiction of a satyr is believed to be a representation of the god Dionysus, who was revered in ancient Greece for his association with wine, fertility, and theater. The inclusion of this image on the coin suggests that the people of Mylasa (Caria) held Dionysus in high esteem and valued his association with their city.
