Comment
Reference: Vondrovec (2014), Fig 3.65Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Hunnic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a figure that appears to be a Hunnic warrior, while the reverse side features a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Alchon Huns' rule in the region.
