Minted during a flourishing period of Indian coinage, this cast-copper unit weighs 2.72 grams and showcases intricate iconography characteristic of early Indian monetary systems. The obverse features a horse walking leftward with Brahmi script legend reading "Sutimati," accompanied by an inverted Makar (crocodile/fish-like symbol) before the horse's head—a distinctive hallmark of this coinage. The reverse displays an elephant in leftward motion on a trail path, complemented by the Ujjaini symbol, a taurine, and the notable triangular-headed emblem, all testifying to the coin's historical authenticity. This piece exemplifies the sophisticated artistry and regional pride of ancient Indian city-states. Its very fine condition preserves remarkable detail despite centuries of circulation. Collectors prize such coins for their historical significance, artistic merit, and rarity. Cast copper coins from Sukatimati are seldom encountered, making this an outstanding investment for serious numismatists and history enthusiasts alike. --- #
