Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Gadyana/Padmatanka - Mahadeva ND (1260-1270) coin from the Yadava Dynasty is that it features an image of Lord Shiva, which is a departure from the usual depiction of the king or emperor on coins of that time. This suggests that the Yadava rulers were Shaivites, followers of the Hindu god Shiva, and wanted to highlight their religious beliefs through their currency.
