Interesting fact
The Ikshvaku dynasty, which ruled the Deccan Plateau in India from the 3rd to the 5th century CE, was known for its unique coinage system. One of the coins they issued, the 1 Unit (227-306) coin made of Lead, weighing 2.19g, features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes a unique symbol, known as the "Ikshvaku tree," which is believed to represent the dynasty's connection to the land and their commitment to the prosperity of their people. This symbol has been found on many other coins issued by the Ikshvaku dynasty, making it a distinctive feature of their currency.
