    A rough one, but the elephant adds to the cuteness factor !

    I agree this is an interesting type from a ruler we do not see every day. My education was advance to include this ruler's name and the fact that is coins come with several head coverings (Kausia) and monograms (mint signature -Panjhir).

    Nope, they're all cool enough from here, including ones that have 'been through (maybe literal) wars.'
