This exceptional copper coin represents a remarkable artifact from ancient Ujjaini, dating to the 2nd century BC during the Kasarwad Hoard period. Weighing 6.18 grams, this copper unit exemplifies the sophisticated numismatic artistry of pre-Christian India. The obverse features an intricate composition showcasing a horse striding rightward before Mahakal—the fearsome manifestation of Lord Shiva—depicted facing left with sacred implements: the Kamandalu (water vessel) in his right hand and the Dand (staff) in his left. Above this sacred imagery stands a stylized tree within a protective railing, positioned above a river teeming with detailed fish motifs. The reverse bears the distinctive Ujjaini symbol, an important identifier of this ancient city's monetary authority. Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this coin demonstrates exceptional preservation with minimal wear. Ujjaini coins are highly sought by numismatists and historians, as they document the religious iconography and artistic sophistication of ancient India. The Kasarwad Hoard type specimens are particularly desirable, offering collectors authentic windows into the spiritual and economic life of the Malwa region. This rare piece represents both historical significance and investment potential for serious collectors. #
