Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Lycian and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in Lycian coinage, while the reverse side features an inscription in Aramaic script, which was the language of the Achaemenid Empire that ruled over Lycia at the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred in the ancient world.
