Devendra Handa # Pl.XXX-7The coins of the Rajanyas Janapada are extremely rare, with not more than 30 being recorded in collections worldwide.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a rendering of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a traditional Indian symbol, the swastika, which was considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity in ancient India. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the time period in which the coin was minted.
