The Tetradrachm coin from the Principality of the Kota Kula (Kidarite Kingdom) made of Copper weighing 4.45g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was used as a form of currency in ancient India, specifically in the region now known as Gujarat. It is believed to have been minted during the 4th century CE and features an image of a king on one side and a goddess on the other. The coin's design and inscriptions provide valuable insight into the culture and religion of the region during that time period.
