Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Kelenderis (Cilicia) 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 owl perched on a branch. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Hellenistic period, when Greek and Persian empires interacted and influenced each other's art, architecture, and currency.
