Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Osroes I, who was a king of the Parthian Empire, on one side, and an image of the goddess Athena on the other. This blending of Persian and Greek influences reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Parthian Empire.
