Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Drachm - Kidarites (Peroz) from Kidarite Kingdom made of Silver weighing 3.94 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Kidarite Empire, which was a dynasty that ruled parts of Central Asia, including present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India, during the 4th to 8th centuries AD. The coin features an image of a king on one side and a fire altar on the other, symbolizing the Zoroastrian religion that was prevalent during that time period.
