Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetartemorion coin from Euromus (Caria) is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a facing head of the Persian king, while the reverse side shows a Greek-style owl. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over the region.
