Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm - Vasudeva II (195-230) from Kushan Empire (India (ancient)) made of Copper weighing 8.43 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of King Vasudeva II, while the reverse side depicts a representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who was revered as the goddess of wealth and prosperity in ancient India. This fusion of Indian and Greek elements reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Kushan Empire's rule, which was a period of significant cultural and religious diversity in the region.
