This Elymais Kingdom AE Drachm is a unique piece of numismatic history. It shows the lesser-known Elymais Kingdom, an ancient civilization, now in modern southwestern Iran. This coin reveals the culture of a region influenced by both Parthian and Hellenistic traditions. Mentioned in the book of Genesis, Elam the grandson of Noah from the Great Flood, is said to be the founder of Elymais Kingdom.
This drachm's design features two rulers, which is rare in ancient coinage. This suggests co-rulership or a strong alliance between the rulers.
