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 II of Commagene, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse (back) side shows a Greek goddess, possibly Artemis, standing on a stepped platform. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the multicultural nature of the ancient world.
