Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Vasudeva (Kushana) (195-225) from Kushan Empire (India (ancient)) made of Copper weighing 9.1 g is that it features an image of the Kushan emperor Vasudeva, also known as Kushana, on one side, and a representation of the Hindu deity Shiva on the other. This coin is a rare example of the blending of Indian and Greek influences in the Kushan Empire's currency, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the empire's history.
