Interesting fact
The Drachm coin , which features Νikon and Aristippou from Apollonia (Illyria), is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the reign of two rulers. It was minted during the overlap of the reigns of Νikon (200-170 BC) and Aristippou (170-160 BC), which makes it a unique piece of numismatic history.
