Post-Mauryan, Marathwada / Vidarbha, region, Uninscribed die-struck Copper, 12.09g, “Symbolic” type, Obv: Horse marching to right, a wheel with arrow spokes above, other small ancillary symbols around, Rev: Lion seated facing left with tail raised, triangle-headed standard above (Not listed in PAIC). Very fine+, extremely rare. Although the issuers of these coins left no names on them, it is evident that they exercised kingship through Vedic sacrifices. Their message was communicated through symbols - the horse on this coin most likely suggests a Ashvamedha sacrifice and the wheel symbol above
