Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Licchavi king, Narendradeva, on one side, and an image of the Hindu goddess, Lakshmi, on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin that combines Buddhist and Hindu imagery, reflecting the religious diversity of the Licchavi Kingdom during that time period.
