Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Indian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of the king, Aspavarma, in a Greek-style helmet, while the reverse side depicts a seated figure of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Indo-Scythian period.
