Legend A has the patronymic as Rudrasihasaputrasa. No coin with this legend and this date was known for Rudrasena I as Kshatrapa until Fishman published an example, which he describes as unique. Presumably, therefore, this is just the second known example, a prize for the advanced collector! The portrait on the coin in hand is better than suggested by the photo. |
