Comment:
These are among the earliest coin’s known to be stuck in India, the wavy design on obverse are earliest attempt by humans to depict art forms on moneyed coins for usage in trade and business. Later, with experience, humans started using symbols drawn from nature viz sun, moon, stars, trees etc. One of the finest example among the starting of coinage in India. This coin bears very fine balance of all symbols both the sides, Very rare.
