Elephant without rider. Shape is Round with a Notch, indicating a cast coinInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Karshapana coin from the Sunga Dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stupa, a dome-shaped structure commonly used in Buddhist and Hindu worship, surrounded by a railing that is reminiscent of Greek architectural elements. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the Sunga period.
