Comment
Ferromagnetic issue, Magnetic.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm coin from Licchavi Kingdom (Nepal) 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 Hindu goddess Lakshmi, while the reverse side features a rendering of the Greek goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred along the Silk Road, which passed through the Licchavi Kingdom during this time period.
