Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Scythian design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a traditional Greek image of the goddess Athena, while the reverse (back) side features a Scythian-style horse and rider, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the two civilizations during this time period.
