Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Spalapati Deva, who was a powerful king of the Kabul Shahi Dynasty, which ruled over much of the Indian subcontinent during the 8th to 11th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions provide valuable insight into the art, culture, and religion of the region during that time period.
