This exceptional copper-alloy coin represents an important piece of ancient Indian numismatic history from the Magha Dynasty, dating to the 3rd century AD. Struck in the Kausambhi region—a historically significant center of commerce and culture in ancient India—this anonymous ruler’s coinage showcases the artistic and administrative sophistication of the era.

The coin’s obverse features a bull facing right, a symbol of prosperity and strength in Indian iconography, while the reverse displays Brahmi legends arranged clockwise, reflecting the linguistic conventions of the period. Weighing 1.90 grams with dimensions of 9.87 x 12.78 mm, this piece demonstrates skilled ancient metalworking techniques.

What makes this specimen particularly noteworthy is its classification as a **rare new variety**—a designation that significantly enhances its appeal to serious numismatists and collectors. In Very Fine condition, the coin retains excellent detail visibility, making it an outstanding example for study and display. The Magha Dynasty’s coins are relatively scarce in the market, and this specific variety represents a valuable addition to any collection focused on ancient Indian coinage, regional monetary systems, or Early Historic Indian culture.
