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 (front) side of the coin depicts a bearded king, likely King Antiochus IV of the Seleucid Empire, while the reverse (back) side shows a Greek goddess, possibly Artemis or Aphrodite, with a Persian-style crown. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the multicultural nature of the ancient Mediterranean world.
