Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Satkarni I in a Greek-style profile, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Satavahana Empire.
