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 male head wearing a Persian-style tiara, while the reverse (back) side shows a Greek-style owl perched on a branch. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the cultural exchange that occurred during that time period.
