Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Nambed (60-85) from Kingdom of Persis (Persian Empires) made of Silver weighing 4.18 g is that it features an image of the Persian king, Ardashir I, on one side and an image of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Ardashir I, who was the founder of the Sassanian Empire, and it reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time.
