Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Alchon Huns' Drachm coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Hun influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Greek-style bust of the king, while the reverse side features a Hun-style horse and rider, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Hunnic Empire's expansion into the Mediterranean region.
