Comment
Göbl, TKN pl. 31, 19 (same dies) [78a/150].Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique front-facing portrait of a king, which is unlike most ancient coins that depicted rulers in profile. This design choice was likely made to emphasize the king's authority and power.
