One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Adomano (Gandhara) (515-580) from Alchon Huns (Hunnic tribes) made of Silver weighing 3.59 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Hunnic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Hunnic king, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Indian goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Hunnic Empire's reign over the region.
