This exceptional Pre-Satavahana copper coin represents a fascinating artifact from 2nd century BC India, originating from the Vidarbha region near Buldhana. A copper unit of the ancient period, this coin showcases remarkable iconography with a majestic lion depicted on the obverse and a bull on the reverse, both facing rightward—symbols of strength and prosperity in ancient Indian coinage traditions.

Weighing 3.38 grams with a diameter of 15.88mm, this numismatic treasure exists in Very Fine condition, displaying excellent preservation for its age. The Pre-Satavahana period predates the famous Satavahana dynasty and offers crucial insights into early Indian monetary systems and regional trade networks. Collectors prize coins from this era for their historical significance and rarity, as few specimens survive intact from this distant period.

The coin’s dual animal motifs reflect the cultural and economic importance of livestock in ancient Vidarbha society. Its scarcity makes it a highly desirable acquisition for serious numismatists, historians, and collectors focusing on early Indian coinage. This authentic piece serves as both an investment and a tangible connection to India’s rich pre-imperial heritage.
