Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hemiobol coin from Kasolaba (Caria) is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Persian king, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek symbol, the owl. This fusion of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the ancient Greeks and Persians during this time period.
