Interesting fact

The Trihemiobol coin from Phagres (Macedon) is interesting because it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Zeus, while the reverse side shows a Persian-style seated archer, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire's rule over Macedon.
