Step back in time to the Mauryan and Sunga eras with this exceptional cast copper unit from the ancient city-state of Kausambhi, dating back to the 2nd century BC. Struck during a formative period of Indian history, this rare numismatic treasure features classic early iconography: the obverse showcases a detailed tree within a railing, symbolizing sacred nature in early Indian art, while the reverse proudly displays the iconic 3-arched hill motif, a powerful emblem found in ancient coinage. Weighing 2.12 grams and measuring approximately 10.48 by 12.48 mm, this specimen is preserved in an impressive About Very Fine condition, retaining clear details despite its millennia-old origins. This specific die variety is notably scarce, making it a prized acquisition for advanced numismatists focusing on ancient Indian punch-marked and cast coinage. Owning this tangible piece of Kausambhi's rich urban history connects collectors to the vibrant trade and culture of ancient South Asia. Please note that this item is available exclusively for domestic buyers within India.
