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 3.82 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured an image of the king on one side and a mythological creature on the other, symbolizing the king's power and connection to the divine. Despite being over 2,000 years old, some of these coins have survived to this day and are highly prized by collectors and historians.
