Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both ancient Egyptian and Indo-European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the Egyptian goddess Isis, while the reverse side features a horse and rider, which is a common motif in Indo-European art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Sedetani people's era.
