Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol - Mazaeus (Myriandrus) coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded king, likely Mazaeus, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side features a Greek-style owl perched on a branch. This fusion of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over the Satrapy of Cilicia.
