This coin is a variant of Rajgor 27, which he attributed to the Andhra janapada because that coin type was known from a single hoard found in Andhra. There have now been multiple finds of similar coins in Vidarbha. See Prashant P. Kulkarni's paper "Coins of Vidarbha Janapada" in the ONS Newsletter, 178, Winter 2004 and Kulkarni: Archaic Coinage of Godavari Valley and the Deccan, 2022.
The variation from Raj 27 is that the bull here faces left, while in Raj 27 it faces right. A CHOICE example! |
