Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Vologases VI (207-221) from Parthian Empire (Parthian Empire (247 BC - 224 AD)) made of Silver weighing 3.83 g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Vologases VI, while the reverse side depicts a seated goddess, likely Artemis, with a crescent moon and a star above her head. This fusion of Greek and Persian elements reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Parthian Empire's reign.
