Krishnamurthy-118, Pieper-781Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Indian and Greek influences in its design. The Chera dynasty was known for its cultural exchange and trade with the Greeks, and this coin reflects that exchange in its use of Greek-style lettering and imagery alongside traditional Indian motifs.
