Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Tenedos (Troad) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a mythical creature called the "Tenedos Lion." This creature is shown standing on its hind legs and holding a small figure of a deity in its paws. The Tenedos Lion is not found on any other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
