Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded king, likely Orodes, in a traditional Persian crown, while the reverse side shows a Greek goddess, possibly Artemis, standing on a platform surrounded by Greek inscriptions. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the multicultural nature of the Parthian Empire, which spanned across ancient Iran, Mesopotamia, and the Mediterranean region.
