Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Æ - Deiotarus (62 BC - 40 BC) from Kings of Galatia made of Bronze weighing 6.2 g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Deiotarus, the king of Galatia, with a distinctly Celtic-style mustache and haircut, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek mythological scene of a satyr and a nymph. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the region during that time period.
