Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an unusual combination of symbols and motifs, including a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on one side and a Buddhist wheel on the other. This blending of religious iconography reflects the diverse cultural influences present in the Kadamba Kingdom during the 6th century.
