Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Scythian cultural influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Greek profile of a bearded man, likely a representation of the Greek god Apollo, while the reverse side features a Scythian-style horseman, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations during this time period.
