Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Karshapana coin from Assaka Kingdom is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stupa, which is a traditional Indian architectural structure, but it also features Greek-style columns and arches. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the pre-Mauryan period.
