This exceptional ancient copper coin originates from Rajgir in Bihar, dating back to the 2nd century BC—a pivotal period in Indian numismatic history. Cast from pure copper, this uniface unit showcases an exquisitely detailed 6-petal lotus flower on the obverse, enclosed within a distinctive double dotted border, while the reverse remains blank (uniface design). Weighing a modest 1.74 grams, this artifact exemplifies the refined metalworking techniques of ancient India.

The lotus motif carries profound symbolic significance in Indian culture, representing purity, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment. Rajgir, an ancient Buddhist pilgrimage site and former capital of Magadha, produced coins of considerable historical importance. This piece’s “Very Fine” condition reveals excellent preservation despite its millennia-old origins, making it a remarkable window into the economic and artistic practices of the Mauryan period.

Collectors and historians prize such pieces for their rarity, historical authenticity, and artistic merit. As an extremely rare uniface casting, this coin represents a scarce example of early Indian metallurgy and coinage evolution. It’s an ideal acquisition for serious numismatists seeking authentic pieces with documented provenance and significant archaeological value.
