Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the name of the ruler, Bahram Shah, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Ghaznavid dynasty.
