Comment
Unpublished in major references.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Satavahana Empire, which was a powerful and influential empire that ruled over much of India and parts of Sri Lanka from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. The coin's design and materials, such as the use of lead, can provide valuable insights into the economic and technological developments of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was used in the Wai-Karhad region suggests that this area was an important center of trade and commerce during the Satavahana period.
