Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Narendra (Ghazni) (540-580) from Alchon Huns (Hunnic tribes) made of Bronze weighing 3.72 g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Hun influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Narendra, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a hunting scene, which reflects the nomadic and warrior culture of the Hunnic tribes. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the cultural exchange and artistic fusion that occurred during the period of Hunnic rule in the region.
