Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Artabanus IV (216-224) from Parthian Empire is that it features an image of the king, Artabanus IV, on one side and an image of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and religious exchange between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire, and the inclusion of Athena, a prominent deity in Greek mythology, reflects the cultural influences of the time.
