Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Æ Stater - Sugandha Rani ND (904-906) coin from the Post-Hunnic dynasties of Kashmir is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Hindu deity, possibly Lord Vishnu, while the reverse side features a Greek-style legend in Kharoshthi script, indicating the coin's minting authority and date. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural exchange and diversity that characterized the Post-Hunnic dynasties of Kashmir during that time period.
