Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Archelaus, the king of Cappadocia, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Tyche on the other. Tyche was the goddess of fortune and prosperity in ancient Greek mythology, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the prosperity and good fortune of the kingdom under Archelaus' rule.
