Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar - Kidarite Huns (350-385) coin is that it features a unique blend of Iranian and Hun influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned king, likely Kidara I, with a long beard and a Hun-style crown, while the reverse side shows a fire altar with two attendants, which is a common motif in Sassanian Persian art. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Kidarite Kingdom, which was established by a Hun leader but was heavily influenced by Iranian culture.
