Interesting fact
The 1 Diobol coin from Gambrion (Mysia) made of Silver weighing 1.68 g is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Greek god, possibly Apollo, while the reverse side features a Persian-style throne and a crescent moon, indicating the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
