Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a satrap, or Persian governor, on one side and an image of a lion on the other. This symbolizes the power and authority of the Achaemenid Empire, which was the first Persian Empire and one of the largest empires of the ancient world.
