Step back in time to ancient India with this remarkable copper unit issued by the autonomous city-state of Bhadravati during the 1st century BC. This scarce numismatic treasure offers a tangible connection to the subcontinent's rich pre-imperial history, long before standardized centralized coinage dominated the region. Graded in Fine condition with a heavy, authentic used patina, this piece bears the fascinating battle scars of genuine circulation. The obverse prominently features a majestic elephant walking to the right, crowned by the iconic Ujjaini symbol, while the reverse reveals a traditional tree within a railing alongside faint traces of ancient Brahmi legends.
