Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a Greek-style temple, complete with columns and a pediment, while the background is adorned with intricate Indian-style floral patterns. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred during the pre-Mauryan period in India.
