Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a Hunnic tribal leader, Tarika Satrap, on one side, and an image of a mythical creature, possibly a dragon or a griffin, on the other side. This coin is a rare example of Hunnic art and symbolism, providing a unique glimpse into the culture and beliefs of the Alchon Huns.
