Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a stupa, a dome-shaped structure commonly found in Indian architecture, surrounded by Greek-style columns and arches. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the time period in which the coin was minted.
