Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist motifs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features a Buddhist wheel, highlighting the religious syncretism that was prevalent during the reign of Triloka Chandra Deva II in the Kingdom of Kangra.
