Description

Post-Mauryan Malwa

Bhanumitra (c. 1st century BC)

AE coin (15 mm, 3.17 g)

Obverse: Human figure standing facing, holding spear in one hand and kamandalu in the other; Brahmi legend Rano Bhanumitasa to right

Reverse: Blank

Ref: Unpublished

This is an unrecorded type of Bhanumitra, an ephemeral ruler of central India who emerged after the collapse of the Mauryan empire.

Pieper lists a Bhanumitra coin with a tree-in-railing (Pieper 924) - but on our specimen we clearly have a human figure on the obverse.

RRR and unlisted.
