One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Stater - Mazaeus (361 BC - 334 BC) from Satrapy of Cilicia (Achaemenid Satrapies) made of Silver weighing 0.57 g is that it features an image of a Persian king, possibly Artaxerxes III, on the obverse (front side), signifying the Achaemenid Empire's influence and control over the region.
