Mitchiner ACW 4892-4896Interesting fact
The Maitraka dynasty, which ruled Western India from the 4th to the 8th century CE, was known for its unique coinage system. The Drachm coin, which was made of silver and weighed 2.0 grams, was one of the most widely used coins during this period. One interesting fact about this coin is that it featured an image of the ruling king on one side and a symbol of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on the other. This blending of political and religious symbols was a distinct feature of Maitraka coinage and reflected the importance of Hinduism in the region during that time.
