Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Æ11 - Ottalos coin from Erythrai (Ionia) is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Persian king, possibly Artaxerxes III, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek mythological scene of a griffin and a stag. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the ancient world, where different civilizations interacted and influenced each other.
