Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Myshemihekte coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Anatolian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side features a stag's head, which is more commonly found in Anatolian coins. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient Greece and Anatolia during this time period.
