| Beschrijving voorzijde | A thunderbolt symbol is depicted upright above a rightward-facing elephant in the central field, with an arrow placed in front of the elephant. A Brahmi legend encircles the design, reading rajno ksatrapasa Nahapanasa, identifying the issuer as the Kshatrapa (Satrap) king Nahapana. The devices are rendered in the characteristic flat, schematic style typical of early Western Satrap copper coinage. The flan is irregularly square and shows the rough surface texture consistent with hand-struck hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nahapana ruled the Western Satraps in the late 1st to early 2nd century AD and is among the best-documented rulers of the dynasty through both numismatic and literary sources — the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea names him directly, placing his territory along the northwestern Indian coast and inland trade routes. His reign ended badly: the Satavahana king Gautamiputra Satakarni defeated him and, according to the Nashik cave inscriptions, deliberately restruck enormous quantities of Nahapana's silver coins as a political act of erasure.
Copper units of this type circulated at the local level where silver didn't reach.
