| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large Ujjain symbol dominates the central field, consisting of a cross-shaped arrangement of globules or pellets with circular elements at each arm, rendered in an unconnected or disjointed form. This well-known auspicious symbol, frequently encountered on early Indian punch-marked and cast coinage, is depicted here in a loosely executed style with the component elements not fully joined. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or additional devices. The rough, granular surface of the lead flan is consistent with the casting method employed. |

The Ikshvakus ruled the Krishna-Guntur region of the Deccan following the decline of Satavahana power, making their coinage some of the earliest indigenous issues from that corridor. Lead was the dominant struck metal across much of peninsular India during this period — silver was scarce regionally, and these small lead pieces functioned as genuine transactional currency rather than prestige issues. The dynasty is known archaeologically almost entirely through the Buddhist monuments at Nagarjunakonda, which their queens and princes funded extensively while the kings themselves favored Brahmanical rites.
