Interesting fact
The coin features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a portrait of a Roman king, while the reverse (back) side features a Greek mythological figure, suggesting that the coin was minted during a time of cultural exchange and blending between the two civilizations.
