Comment
Earlier versions of Bhoja deva coins had larger flan size and more detailed execution.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of King Mihara Bhoja I in a characteristic Indian style, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription in a Islamic style, indicating the influence of Islamic culture on the Pratihara Empire during that time period. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the period of Indian history.
