Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of three different rulers on its obverse side. Polemon, Alketes, and Timo are all depicted together, which is a rare occurrence in ancient coinage. This suggests that the coin may have been issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between the three rulers, making it a significant historical artifact.
