Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare portrait of Pausanias, the son of Pausanios, who was a prominent leader in the ancient Greek city of Magnesia ad Meandrum (Ionia) during the 2nd century BC. The coin's design highlights the importance of family lineage and legacy in ancient Greek culture, as Pausanias' father, Pausanios, was also a respected leader in the city. The coin's silver content and weight of 16.87 grams also make it a valuable and significant artifact from the ancient world.
