Interesting fact
The Trbbenimi (Zemu) Stater from Dynasts of Lycia (Achaemenid Satrapies) is notable for its unique design, which features a lion's head on one side and an inscription in ancient Lycian script on the other. The Lycian script is a rare and ancient writing system that was used in the region of Lycia, which is now modern-day Turkey. The use of this script on the coin indicates the cultural and historical significance of the region and its people during the Achaemenid Empire.
