Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Napad (75-100) from Kingdom of Persis (Persian Empires) made of Silver weighing 4.00 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Artaxerxes II (405-359 BCE). The coin features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in ancient Persian on the other. It was minted in the city of Ecbatana, which was the capital of the Persian Empire at the time. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and can be found in the collections of museums and private collectors.
