Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Stater - Trbbenimi 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 king wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side features a stag, which is a common motif in Lycian art. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over Lycia.
