| Aversbeschreibung | An elephant depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in a robust, archaic style characteristic of early Deccan coinage. The animal is shown standing with its trunk slightly raised, its form occupying the central field of the flan. A Brahmi legend appears as an overstrike across the primary design, indicating the coin's secondary use by a Maharathi feudatory issuer. The overall relief is bold but irregular, consistent with hammered copper coinage of the Satavahana period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse bears a Nandyavarta symbol, a complex auspicious geometric device of ancient Indian tradition, rendered in shallow relief against an uneven field. Additional counterstamp impressions are visible, consistent with the coin's overstruck nature and its reuse by a Satavahana feudatory authority. The surface exhibits the characteristic roughness and irregular outline typical of hammered copper units of the Marathwada Maharathi issues. Secondary punch marks are discernible in the field, further attesting to the coin's layered issuance history. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Maharathis were a class of high-ranking noble administrators under Satavahana authority in the Marathwada region — present-day central Maharashtra — whose right to issue coinage reflected genuine delegated political power rather than mere ceremonial status. The overstrike on this piece is the substantive detail: a feudatory mint deliberately effacing an earlier type, asserting local identity over a prior issuing authority. Pieper 2540 is among the less frequently encountered attributions in this feudatory series, and examples with legible understrike traces carry additional documentation value for die-sequence research.
