Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and other metals, typically copper or bronze. The use of Billon in coinage was common in ancient India, as it was a way to create coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than pure silver coins. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative coin.
