Comment
Pieper 1006.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a stupa, which is a dome-shaped structure commonly found in Indian architecture, surrounded by a series of arches and columns that are reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the time period in which the coin was minted.
