| Beschrijving voorzijde | A humped bull (zebu) depicted in left profile stance, rendered in low relief in the primitive artistic style characteristic of early Indian cast copper coinage. The animal's prominent hump and sturdy body are visible, occupying the central field of the irregularly shaped flan. The design is boldly conceived though crudely executed, consistent with the early medieval coinage of the Naga dynasties of central India. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Naga dynasty controlled the Narwar region (ancient Padmavati) during a period when northern India was fragmented among numerous post-Kushana successor states, before Samudragupta's 4th-century campaigns effectively extinguished their independence. Ganapati Naga is among the better-documented rulers of the line, appearing in Gupta records as one of the kings defeated and "uprooted" during Samudragupta's northern conquests — making coins issued under his name datable with unusual precision relative to most anonymous early Indian copper issues.
At 6 mm and under half a gram, this denomination sits at the lowest practical threshold of ancient Indian copper coinage.
