Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a young Alexander the Great, who was only 16 years old when the coin was minted. Despite his young age, Alexander had already proven himself to be a skilled military leader and strategist, and his image on the coin reflects his importance and influence in the ancient world.
