Ujjaini Region, Copper Unit, 'standing Shiva type' 2.57g, 13.13mm. Obv: Standing Shiva holding danda and kamandalu; sun; six-aarmed symbol; tree. Rev: Bale-mark' and Ujjain symbol. Typologically this type departs further from the Mauryan prototype towards the typical local Ujjain 'Shiva type'. On that type Shiva will henceforth occupy the dominant position to which the associated symbols are subordinated. As can be seen below these associated symbols are frequently still the same as on the Mauryan prototype, particularly sun and six-armed symbol. This coin is still punchmarked in contrast to the subsequent types which are all die-struck, but the symbol arrangement on the coin flan is already more a composition than a randomly done application of punches. On the reverse the 'bale-mark' is still maintained but now it is accompanied by the Ujjain symbol. In the further development the 'bale-mark' will disappear and the Ujjain symbol alone will become the reverse emblem of the whole series. Pieper 164, About Very Fine, Rare. Estimate
Rs. 800-1,000
