Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetrobol coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Persian king, believed to be Hecatomnus, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek symbol, the owl, surrounded by a Persian-style border. This fusion of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over Caria.
