Interesting fact
The Kroisos coin is considered one of the earliest coins in the world and was minted during the reign of King Croesus of Lydia (now modern-day Turkey) in the 6th century BC. It features a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other, which is believed to be the name of the king or a mint official. The coin's design and style have been influential in the development of coins throughout history, and it remains a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
