Step back in time to the 2nd century BCE with this exceptional ancient copper unit hailing from the historic Vidarbha region of modern-day Maharashtra, specifically the Buldhana area. Issued during the pre-Satavahana era, this remarkable piece of numismatic history offers a tangible connection to India's deep antiquity, long before the major imperial dynasties fully established their dominance across the subcontinent. Crafted from solid copper, the obverse prominently features a powerfully rendered, muscular lion standing proudly to the right, symbolizing strength and sovereignty. Flipping the coin reveals a distinct depiction of a bull facing right on the reverse, a recurring and sacred motif in early Indian coinage representing agrarian prosperity and religious devotion. Weighing 2.80 grams with a compact diameter of 11.09 mm, this piece exhibits a heavy used, fine condition that beautifully showcases centuries of authentic handling and historical endurance. For serious numismatists and collectors of ancient Indian coinage, acquiring a pre-Satavahana specimen with such distinct animal iconography is a rare privilege. It serves as a cornerstone piece for cabinets dedicated to ancient regional mints and early punch-marked or cast copper issues. Secure a true piece of antiquity for your collection today.
