Interesting fact
The Holmoi Stater, which was minted in 440 BC, 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 Achaemenid Empire, which spanned across parts of Asia Minor, including Cilicia, where Holmoi was located.
