Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Pakor II (10-50) from Kingdom of Persis (Persian Empires) made of Silver weighing 3.89 g is that it features an image of the Persian king, Pakor II, on one side and a fire altar on the other. The fire altar was an important symbol in ancient Persian culture, representing the goddess of fire, Atar. This coin was minted during Pakor II's reign, which lasted from 785 to 765 BCE, and was likely used for everyday transactions within the Persian Empire.
