Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kushan Empire's Tetradachm coin is that it features an image of the king, Kujula Kadphises, who ruled from 30 CE to 80 CE, on one side, and a depiction of a deity on the other. This coin was used as a means of exchange and was also considered a symbol of the empire's power and influence.
