Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Drachm - Amoghabhuti coin from the Kuninda Kingdom is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Indian architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design reflects the cultural exchange and influence of the ancient Hellenistic world on the Indian subcontinent during the 2nd century BC.
