Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a bearded male head wearing a diadem, which is a symbol of Greek culture, while the reverse (back) side shows a seated figure of the Persian goddess Artemis Anahita, indicating the Persian influence on the region during that time. This blending of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of the ancient world.
