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 less than other coins of similar denomination, at 2.68 grams. This suggests that the coin may have been designed to be more portable and easily accessible to the general population, possibly indicating a focus on facilitating trade and commerce during the reign of the Kabul Shahi Dynasties.
