Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Dardanos (Troad) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Persian king, while the reverse side shows a Greek legend and a depiction of the goddess Athena. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, which was influenced by both Greek and Persian empires at the time.
