Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of the Nezak Huns, a group of nomadic tribes that roamed the steppes of Central Asia and played a significant role in the history of the region. Despite their reputation for pillage and destruction, the Nezak Huns were also known for their advanced metalworking techniques, which allowed them to produce coins like this one. The coin's design, which features an image of a horseman on one side and an inscription in the Brahmi script on the other, reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
