Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a Persian king, possibly Artaxerxes III, on one side, and an image of a lion attacking a bull on the other side. This symbolism reflects the Achaemenid Empire's cultural and religious influences, as well as its political power and control over the region.
