Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indo-Greek and Indian styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the king, while the reverse side features a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the period of Greek rule in India.
