Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm coin from Kyzikos (Mysia) is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Persian king, possibly Artaxerxes III, while the reverse side features a Greek legend and a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, which was influenced by both Greek and Persian empires at the time.
