Very few clear coin specimens such as this are known of the Post Satavahana-pre Kadamba period of Deccan India. It is also interesting to note that this coin highlights three religious streams within the ruler’s name - Vinhu(Vishnu), Ruda(Rudra) and Buddha. A ‘Satakarani’ name ending suggests a connection with the late Satavahana lineage. Very Fine, Extremely Rare. View Lot Details
