First coin in the world to feature two languages?

    This had me wondering. In many multilingual countries, there are good attempts to feature different languages on the same coin.

    I do not know anything about the ancient world and thought it would be best to post here.

    I think this is an interesting subject - back in ancient / medieval era where conquest and colonization is the norm - I can't think of many coins that would feature either two langauges or dual denomination.

    The only coin that comes to mind is a coin from Russia / Moldava / Romania area where coins were struck in dual denomination - 2 para or 3 kopek issued in 1772.

    Would like to hear more.
