Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Stater (350 BC) from Lampsakos (Mysia) made of Gold weighing 8.45g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Persian king, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek mythological figure, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
