Alram 455Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Kamnaskires III, while the reverse (back) side features a representation of the Persian goddess Anahita, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Parthian Empire.
