Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Amoghabhuti 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, which is a dome-shaped structure commonly found in Buddhist architecture, surrounded by a series of arches that are reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred during the time period in which the coin was minted.
