Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Æ Unit (210 BC - 190 BC) from City of Mahishmati (Narmada Valley) made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of ancient Indian and Greek architectural styles on its design. The coin's obverse side depicts a stupa, a dome-shaped structure commonly found in ancient Indian architecture, while the reverse side features a Greek-style column with an ionic capital. This fusion of architectural styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the time period.
