Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Stater - Kherei (440 BC - 410 BC) from Dynasts of Lycia (Achaemenid Satrapies) made of Silver weighing 8.26 g is that it features an image of a lion on one side and an inscription in ancient Lycian script on the other. The lion was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Lycia, and the inscription likely denoted the coin's denomination or issued authority. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the monetary system and artistic styles of ancient Lycia during the Achaemenid period.
