Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Sri Satakarni, a prominent ruler of the Satavahana Empire, who ruled from 101 BC to 1 BC. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of bronze, a common metal used for currency during that time period, suggest that it was a widely circulated coin during the Satavahana Empire. Additionally, the coin's weight of 1.75 grams indicates that it was a small denomination coin, likely used for everyday transactions.
