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 side of the coin depicts a bearded heroic figure, possibly a local king or a deity, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side shows a stylized horse and a small inscription in ancient Greek. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, which was influenced by both Greek and Persian empires during that time period.
