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