Ra-30-32var.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Karshapana coin from the Vanga Kingdom is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a Greek-style temple, which is a rare example of the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece.
