Interesting fact
The Tetrobol coin from Kindya (Caria) features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a lion's head with its mouth open, surrounded by a circular border. This design was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage and symbolized the power and strength of the issuing city-state.
