Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Vasudeva I (Kushana Imitative Type) (164-400) from Kushan Empire (India (ancient)) made of Copper weighing 4.5 g is that it features an image of the Kushan king Vasudeva I, who ruled the empire from 164 to 400 CE. The coin was likely used for everyday transactions and trading within the empire, and its design was influenced by the Greek and Roman coins that were popular at the time. Despite being made of copper, the coin was still considered valuable and played an important role in the economy of the Kushan Empire.
