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 portrait of a bearded king, likely King Antiochus II of Commagene, while the reverse (back) side shows a stylized representation of the ancient Persian goddess Artemis. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, which was located at the crossroads of Greek and Persian empires.
