Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Stater - Tiribazus (390 BC - 386 BC) from Satrapy of Lydia (Achaemenid Satrapies) made of Silver weighing 10.12 g is that it features an image of a lion, which was a symbol of the Achaemenid Empire, on one side, and an image of a Persian king, possibly Tiribazus himself, on the other side. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was used during the Achaemenid Empire, and it provides valuable insight into the economic and cultural practices of the time.
