Interesting fact
The Tritartemorion coin from Kebren (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-style owl. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Achaemenid Empire, which spanned from the 6th to the 4th century BC.
