Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Stater - Perikle coin from Dynasts of Lycia (Achaemenid Satrapies) is that it features a unique blend of Lycian and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Perikles, a prominent Lycian king, while the reverse side features an image of a Persian king, possibly Artaxerxes III, along with a Persian inscription. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Lycian and Persian empires during this time period.
