Interesting fact
The Drachm - Napad (75-100) coin from the Kingdom of Persis (Persian Empires) was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Artaxerxes II (405-359 BCE). It was made of silver and weighed 3.71 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in ancient Persian on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and are highly sought after by collectors today.
