Comment
Anokhin (1986)# 78.Interesting fact
The Diobol coin from Phanagoreia (Pontos) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Greek god, possibly Dionysus or Heracles, while the reverse side shows a Persian-style seated archer, indicating the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the time period.
