One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Stater - Sankara Varman (Kashmir) ND (883-901) from Post-Hunnic dynasties of Kashmir (Indian Northern Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 5 g is that it features an unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of King Sankara Varman, while the reverse side features a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, along with a Greek-style legend. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural exchange and diversity of the region during that time period.
