Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period, but it weighed only 3 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar size and material. This suggests that the coin may have been designed to be easily portable and accessible to a wide range of people, including merchants, traders, and everyday citizens. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by the Kabul Shahi Dynasties, which was a powerful and influential empire in the region, adds to its historical significance and value.
