Spalapati Deva was a shahi king of Kabul and Gandhara region in the medieval era.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Lord Shiva, a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features an inscription in Arabic script, indicating the Islamic influence on the coin's minting and design. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Kabul Shahi Dynasties and their ability to adapt and incorporate different religious and artistic traditions into their coinage.
