Interesting fact
The Nagidos Stater was minted during the reign of King Artaxerxes III, who ruled the Achaemenid Empire from 385 BC to 375 BC. The coin features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in ancient Persian on the other. The inscription includes the king's name and title, as well as a mention of the god Ahura Mazda, who was revered by the Persians. This coin is significant not only for its historical value but also for its artistic and cultural significance, as it showcases the craftsmanship and design of ancient Persian coinage.
