This coin in a meme [решено]

We’ve all seen this meme.



I got a little curious today. Is this some sort of coin? Or some sort of medal or religious token?

Perhaps a religious token in South Asia.

Buddhism symbol......



Left side symbol appears in the Buddhist temples of China, Japan and Korea.

Right side symbol mostly appears in In India, Mongolia and other places.
There is inscription in Brahmi script around the swastika. From the style it could be a coin of the Paratarajas who ruled in the modern day Baluchistan region in the second and third century.
I will try to read the script later when time permits and see if it could be attributed to a specific ruler.

Edit : Found it. Its a coin of Bhimarjuna, c. 225-235 CE

Wow! Never did I think I could learn so much from a coin in a meme.

One of these would make a great entry in the MPCC contest.
