Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Hunnic influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned bust of the king, Napki Malka, with a distinctly Hunnic-style mustache and beard, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek motif of a standing figure holding a scepter and a small statue of a goddess. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Hephthalite Empire's rule over a diverse territory spanning from Central Asia to the Indian subcontinent.
