Indian coins typically feature symbols or images specific to Indian culture, history, or religious beliefs, while Greek coins often depict mythological figures, gods, or scenes from Greek mythology.

Additionally, Indian coins were traditionally made of gold, silver, or copper, while Greek coins were commonly made of silver or bronze.
