Step back in time over two millennia with this authentic lead unit minted during the powerful Satavahana Dynasty in the 1st Century BC. Hailing from the Vidarbha region of Yavatmal, Maharashtra, this ancient piece of Indian numismatic history offers collectors a tangible connection to the ancient trade and culture of the Deccan plateau. The obverse prominently displays a majestic elephant facing right beneath a sacred Sreevatsa symbol, while the reverse is adorned with a classic Nandyavarta motif featuring four Nandipad symbols radiating from a central dot. Weighing 2.20 grams and measuring approximately 12.10 by 11.88 mm, this specimen is graded in Very Fine condition, showcasing remarkably clear ancient iconography that is often lost to the elements on lead coins of this antiquity.
