Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Æ Unit - Taxila (185 BC - 160 BC) from City of Taxila (Punjab region) made of Copper weighing 2.28 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek architectural styles on its design. The coin's obverse side depicts a Greek-style temple, while the reverse side features a depiction of a stupa, which is a traditional Indian architectural form. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the reign of the Indo-Greek kingdoms in the region.
