Interesting fact
The Indo-Parthian Kingdom, which issued the Drachm - Satavastra coin , was a rare instance of a kingdom that was established by a group of Parthian nobles who had fled their homeland due to political instability. This kingdom lasted for over a century and was known for its unique blend of Parthian and Indian cultures, which is reflected in the coin's design.
