Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Achaemenid Satrapy of Caria's Diobol coin is that it features the image of a Persian king, possibly Artaxerxes III, on one side, and a Greek goddess, possibly Athena, on the other. This blending of Persian and Greek imagery reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over Caria.
