Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Indian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Greek-style portrait of King Kujula Kadphises, while the reverse side shows a seated figure of the Hindu deity Lord Shiva, indicating the cultural exchange and syncretism that existed in the region during that time period.
