| Additional information |
Junnar, situated in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, functioned as a significant urban and trade center during the Satavahana period, and potin coinages from the region reflect a monetary tradition that blended local civic authority with broader dynastic influences. Potin itself — a cast lead-tin-copper alloy — was the workhorse metal of western Deccan coinage in this period, chosen for its castability rather than intrinsic value.
MIG 1403 places this piece within Mitchiner's classification of city or janapada issues, a category that remains only partially understood due to limited excavation records from Junnar itself.
