Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Alexander the Great, who was the ruler of the Alexandrian Empire at the time. Despite being minted in Babylon, which was a Persian satrapy, the coin still bears the image of Alexander, highlighting the influence and reach of his empire.
