Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Indian influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a portrait of the king, while the reverse (back) side features a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Indo-Scythian period.
