Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded male head wearing a diadem, which is a distinctly Greek stylistic element. However, the reverse side of the coin shows a seated figure of a Persian king, indicating the influence of the Achaemenid Empire that had conquered the region in the 6th century BC. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred in the ancient world.
