Comment
Anokhin (1986) 112.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 king, likely Paerisades I, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side shows a Greek-style horseman. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Hellenistic period, when Greek and Persian cultures came into contact with each other.
