Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Alexander the Great, who was deified after his death and worshipped as a god in the Ptolemaic Kingdom. This coin was minted during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter, who was one of Alexander's generals and became the ruler of Egypt after Alexander's death. The coin's design reflects the blending of Greek and Egyptian cultures that occurred during the Ptolemaic period.
