Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Buddhist and Christian symbols. The obverse side of the coin bears a cross, which is a common symbol in Christianity, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Buddha, which is a central figure in Buddhism. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the period in which the coin was minted.
