Comment
Pre-Ashokan issueInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Karshapana coin from the Mauryan Empire is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stupa, a dome-shaped structure commonly used in Indian architecture, surrounded by a railing that is reminiscent of Greek architecture. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the Mauryan period.
