Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the profile of Pixodarus, the Satrap of Caria, wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek mythological scene of a nymph riding a sea monster. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over the region.
