Kausambi Magha coin

Interesting fact

The Vaisravana coin from the Magha dynasty is notable for its unique design, which features a standing figure of the Hindu god Vaisravana (also known as Kuvera) on one side, and an inscription in Brahmi script on the other. This coin is one of the earliest examples of Indian coinage and is considered a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians.
