Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Didrachm - Datarvharna (265-280) from Paratarajas dynasty (Indo-Parthian Kingdom) made of Copper weighing 3.43 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Parthian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a king, likely Datarvharna, with a distinctive Parthian-style crown, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu deity, possibly Lord Shiva, in a style that is characteristic of Indian art. This fusion of artistic styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Indo-Parthian period, making the coin a fascinating piece of history.
