Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Stater - Teththiveibi (440 BC - 430 BC) from Dynasts of Lycia (Achaemenid Satrapies) made of Silver weighing 9.84 g 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. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Lycian people and their Persian rulers.
