This exceptional ancient copper coin from the Vidarbha (Paoni) region represents a fascinating artifact from 4th-3rd century BC India. Cast in copper and weighing 6.18 grams with an 18mm diameter, this piece showcases remarkable historical craftsmanship. The obverse features a sacred Nandipad (bull's hoof symbol) positioned above a lion walking rightward, while the reverse displays traces of the Gaja-Chhatra (royal elephant and parasol motif), symbols of authority and prosperity in ancient Indian kingdoms. Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this coin exhibits impressive preservation for its age, with clear iconographic details that reflect the artistic standards of early India. The Paoni region's coinage is notably scarce in the numismatic market, making this piece exceptionally rare for serious collectors. Its historical significance lies in documenting the monetary systems and cultural symbols of pre-Mauryan India. This is an outstanding addition for those collecting ancient Indian numismatics or studying regional Deccan coinage traditions.
