Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetartemorion coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a bearded male head wearing a diadem, which is a symbol of Greek influence. However, the reverse (back) side of the coin shows a seated figure of a Persian king, indicating the Persian influence on the coin's design. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Hellenistic period, where Greek and Persian cultures came together in the region of Cilicia.
