One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the Alchon king, while the reverse side features a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Hunnic Empire's rule over the region.
