Punch Marked, Andhra region, (Early 4th century BC), Silver, 0.97g, 19.32x18.36mm, ¼ Karshapana, Four symbol ABCC type, Obv: Tree triskely (2), animal facing. An unpublished hoard, containing similar coins is previously known from a place named ‘Koch’ in Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh. However, such coins are more close to numerous types of Deccan/southern areas. A parallel may be drawn with Shingavaram hoard coins also, but those coins have an elephant as a mandatory symbol, which is absent in the present coin. Secondly, and perhaps most important this coin is reported from somewhere near Maharashtra-Telangana border, This provenance appears to be more reliable and corroborates this coin much better with local silver punchmarked coinage Deccan/Andhra areas. However, considering a distinctly different symbol combination, we may tentatively attribute this to some unknown smaller janapada of Andhra area. Unpublished. Very Fine. Very Rare. Estimate
Rs. 30,000-35,000
