This exceptional lead coin represents a fascinating artifact from the Western Kshatrapa dynasty, a powerful Indo-Greek ruling kingdom that flourished across western India during the 3rd century AD. Attributed to Rudrasena III, this rare monetary unit weighs 2.20 grams and showcases the distinctive iconography of the period. The obverse features a majestic bull facing rightward—a symbol of prosperity and strength in ancient Indian coinage—while the reverse displays a characteristic 3-arched hill motif, a hallmark of Kshatrapa numismatic design.

Cast in lead rather than precious metals, such coins provide invaluable insights into the economic systems and daily transactions of ancient India. The “About Fine” condition reflects heavy historical use, with visible patina and wear that authenticates its age and circulation history. This rarity makes it highly sought after by serious numismatists and ancient history enthusiasts. Collectors treasure Western Kshatrapa coins for their historical significance, artistic merit, and the window they provide into a crucial period of Indian antiquity. A genuinely scarce acquisition for those passionate about ancient coinage and Indian cultural heritage.
