Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Ariarathes I (Gaziura) (333 BC - 322 BC) from Kings of Cappadokia made of Silver weighing 5.33 g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Ariarathes I, while the reverse side depicts a seated Apollo, a common motif in Greek coinage. However, the coin's design also incorporates Persian elements, such as the use of Aramaic script and the depiction of a Persian king on the reverse side. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Cappadocia during this time period, as the region was caught between the competing empires of Greece and Persia.
