Interesting fact
The coin features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Hellenistic period. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a bearded king, likely Seleucus I Nicator, while the reverse (back) side shows a stylized Apollo standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a crescent moon and stars. This combination of Greek and Persian elements highlights the cultural diversity of the region and the blending of traditions that occurred during this time period.
