Considered Post Mauryan. This coin was issued in the city of Ayodhya after the collapse of Kushan rule.

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Lord Rama, a revered figure in Hinduism, on one side, and an inscription in the Brahmi script on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the history and culture of ancient India.
