Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an unusual combination of symbols and motifs, including a seated figure of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on the obverse, and a stylized representation of the mythical creature makara on the reverse. This blending of religious and mythological elements reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the time period.
