Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Indian and Greek architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a Greek-style temple, complete with columns and a pediment, while the architrave and frieze are decorated with Indian-style carvings. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between ancient India and Greece during the pre-Mauryan period.
