Beschrijving voorzijde Stylized elephant depicted in left profile with left forefoot raised and trunk curled upward, rendered in a bold, archaic punch-struck style characteristic of early Satavahana coinage. The figure is surrounded by a Brahmi legend disposed around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuing ruler. The design occupies most of the irregular flan, with the elephant's musculature rendered in a simplified yet recognizable manner.

Aanvullende informatie

The Satavahana dynasty's use of city-specific issuing authorities — rather than centralised imperial mints — produced a patchwork of regional coinage that modern scholars still struggle to sequence with confidence. Nasik, controlling the Deccan trade routes through the Western Ghats, was commercially significant enough to warrant its own issues. Rano Siri Satakarni is tentatively identified among the early Satavahana rulers, though the dynasty's king-list remains contested, with several rulers sharing near-identical names across different regnal sequences.

The punch-marked and cast traditions overlapped awkwardly during this period in the Deccan.
