Tiwari, p.69.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Karshapana (201 BC - 101 BC) from City of Kurara (Narmada Valley) made of Bronze weighing 8.85 g is that it features a unique blend of ancient Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases a combination of Indian motifs, such as the depiction of a stupa, along with Greek elements, including a Greek-style column and an arch. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the time period in which the coin was minted.
