Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Persian and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned bust of King Varhran II, while the reverse side features an image of the goddess Athena, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Sasanian Empire.
