Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Chola dynasty, which was known for its strong naval presence and extensive trade networks. The coin's design, featuring a stylized image of a pagoda, suggests that it may have been used for international trade, particularly with Southeast Asian countries where pagodas were a common architectural feature.
