| Aanvullende informatie |
Pushkalavati — the "City of Lotuses," modern Charsadda in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — sat at the confluence of the Swat and Kabul rivers and served as the Achaemenid administrative capital of Gandhara before Alexander's forces besieged it for roughly a month in 327 BC. By the second century BC, the city operated under the loose authority of the Indo-Greek kingdom, issuing its own civic bronze alongside royal coinage. The MIG 4401/03 series belongs to that semi-autonomous municipal tradition, a relatively rare phenomenon on the northwest frontier.
