This exceptional Pre-Satavahana copper coin represents a fascinating artifact from the 2nd century BC, originating from the Buldhana region of ancient India. Weighing 1.96 grams and measuring 9.90mm in diameter, this copper unit exemplifies the numismatic sophistication of the pre-imperial Deccan plateau civilizations. The coin features distinctive iconography: the obverse bears the sacred Srivatsa symbol—an auspicious mark deeply rooted in Hindu and Buddhist traditions—while the reverse displays a striking hollow-cross motif flanked by Taurine elements. This combination of symbols reflects the region's spiritual and cultural heritage during this pivotal historical period. Graded in Very Fine condition, this rare new variety offers collectors a tangible connection to India's ancient monetary systems and the transitional era preceding the powerful Satavahana dynasty. The Buldhana region coins are particularly scarce in the numismatic market, making authenticated examples highly sought after. Beyond monetary value, this coin serves as an archaeological window into pre-Christian trade networks, religious beliefs, and artisanal craftsmanship. Its rarity classification and excellent preservation make it an outstanding addition to serious Indian numismatic collections, offering both historical significance and investment potential. #
