Ujjain / Vidisha type PMC GH-589Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Post-Mauryan Ujjain Series VII 1 Karshapana coin 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 symbol of Buddhism, surrounded by a Greek-inspired railing, showcasing the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period. This blending of styles reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region and highlights the diverse influences that shaped Indian art and architecture during that time.
