| Comments |
Legend B has the king's name as Rudradama. The date S. 114 was unknown with this legend until I published an example in my paper A Simple Two Mint Model for Western Kshatrapa Coinage, Numismatic Digest, Vols. 32-33, 2008-09 (published 2011), pp. 33-78. RARE type with a very clear date, great portrait and a nice reverse! |
