Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Scythian design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a traditional Greek profile of a bearded man, likely a representation of the Greek god Apollo, while the reverse (back) side features a Scythian-style horseman, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations in the region.
