Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hemidrachm coin is that it features an image of a crowned king on the obverse side, which is believed to be a representation of Ardashir V, the ruler of the Persian Empire at the time. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 211 to 223 AD.
