Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hephtalites Gupta coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a king, likely Kumaragupta I, with a Greek-style crown and a diadem, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, signifying the fusion of Indian and Greek cultures during the Gupta Empire.
