| Additional information |
Lead coinage from the Andhra kingdom's later phase reflects an administration under sustained fiscal pressure — silver supplies from western trade routes had contracted sharply by the late third century, and lead became the practical medium for smaller regional transactions in the Krishna-Godavari delta. These issues circulated in a densely populated agricultural zone where the Andhras had maintained tributary control long after their political center had weakened.
