| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of this hammered copper karshapana displays a deeply struck punch-mark device within the roughly rectangular field. Two prominent circular or spiral motifs are visible, consistent with the symbolic punch-mark vocabulary employed on contemporary Indian coinage of the period. The surface carries a rich blue-green patina typical of ancient copper alloy coins recovered from the Vidarbha region. The irregular flan edges and uneven fabric are characteristic of hand-struck issues of the early historical period in the Deccan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vidarbha, centered on the ancient city of Nandinagari in the Deccan, operated as a semi-independent regional power caught between the contending pressures of the Satavahana dynasty to the south and the declining Shunga authority to the north. Satyabhadra is among the least-documented rulers of this kingdom — his name survives primarily through the coin series itself rather than through any literary or epigraphic record.
The ACR corpus remains the principal reference for attributing these copper issues to specific Vidarbhan rulers, a task complicated by shared punch techniques across neighboring series.
