Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a seated figure on one side and an inscription on the other, which suggests that it may have been used as a form of currency in the region. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 10.03g suggests that it may have had a significant value at the time it was minted.
