Comment
Type Bull & Horseman. Early typeInteresting 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 the name of the king, Spalapati Deva, in the Brahmi script, which was commonly used in ancient India. The reverse side, on the other hand, features an Arabic inscription that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" or "the greatest king," which reflects the Islamic influence that was prevalent during the Kabul Shahi Dynasty. This blend of cultures and religions is a testament to the rich history and diversity of the region.
