Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Heracles, a popular Greek deity, while the reverse side shows a seated Apollo, also a Greek deity, but with a Persian-style throne and a crescent moon above him. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Greek and Persian empires during that time.
