This exceptional Pre-Satavahana copper coin represents a fascinating piece of ancient Indian numismatic history, dating back to the 1st century BC during the Vidarbha region's dynamic period. Minted before the rise of the mighty Satavahana Empire, this copper unit features the distinctive "Tiscali" inscription on the obverse, with a regal elephant walking rightward beneath a parasol (Chhatra) on the reverse—symbols of royalty and prosperity in ancient Indian coinage. What makes this specimen particularly noteworthy is its rare counter-struck variety, indicating the coin was restruck over an earlier issue, a practice that adds significant historical intrigue. Weighing 3.76 grams and measuring 11.90 x 16.15 mm, this piece exhibits an Extremely Fine condition, showcasing remarkable preservation for its age. The counter-struck markings are clearly visible, making it an exceptional find for serious collectors and numismatists interested in pre-imperial Indian monetary systems. This copper coin serves as a tangible connection to an era of regional kingdoms and emerging trade networks in the Deccan plateau. Its rarity, combined with excellent condition and historical significance, makes it a prized acquisition for those collecting early Indian coinage and pre-Satavahana artifacts. --- #
