Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded king wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side shows a Greek-style athlete holding a palm branch and a spear. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the cultural exchange that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
