Comment
Anokhin (1986) 111.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetrachalkon coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded king facing right, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side shows a Greek-style owl perched on a branch, surrounded by a crescent moon and stars. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Greek and Persian empires during the Hellenistic period.
