Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Indravarma, who was a prominent king of the Apracharaja dynasty, on one side, and an image of a lion on the other side. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the rule of the Indo-Scythian Kingdom, which was a powerful empire that existed in the region now known as Pakistan and parts of India, from the 2nd century BCE to the 5th century CE.
