Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Agasikles Stater from Kios (Bithynia) is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded king, likely Agasikles himself, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side shows a Greek goddess, possibly Athena, standing on a stepped platform. This fusion of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient Greece and Persia during the Hellenistic period.
