Imitation of Huviska's Couch-recliner type coinageInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm - Huviska (Kushana Imitative type) coin from the Kushan Empire (India) is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of the Kushan king, Huvishka, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Kushan period.
