Own a piece of ancient Indian numismatic history with this exceptional copper coin from Bharuch (ancient Bhrigukachchha), dating back to the 1st century BC. This rare monetary unit showcases the sophisticated iconography of the Bharuch region during the pre-Christian era, featuring a bold pair of Mugamukhe symbols—distinctive frog-like motifs representing fertility and prosperity—on the obverse side. The reverse displays the intricate Mahakal emblem, a six-arched religious symbol deeply rooted in Hindu tradition, accompanied by a detailed river scene complete with swimming fish, reflecting the coin's connection to Bharuch's importance as a major river port on the Narmada. Weighing 4.12 grams of pure copper, this coin has retained its authentic natural patina with beautiful green oxidation, a hallmark of genuine age and archaeological significance. Graded in Very Fine condition, this specimen represents an exceptional find for serious numismatists and collectors of ancient Indian currency. Its rarity lies in the combination of well-preserved iconography, regional significance, and the historical importance of Bharuch as a prominent trade hub during the Mauryan period. A must-have for those studying ancient Indian monetary systems and regional heritage. --- #
