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.
