1. Indus Valley Civilization (mature phase, 2500-2000 BC), gold ornamental diskette, to be strung into a necklace, said to
have been recovered as a surface find at Lothal, Gujarat. 2.06g. 30.79mm. Extremely fine, Extremely rare.
Sold for : ` ......................... Estimate : ` 30,000 - 40,000
A large hoard of such diskettes was found in May 2000 at Mandi in Muzaffarnagar district, Western Uttar Pradesh. The hoard was
contained in two bronze containers and included many varieties of spacer beads, hollow terminal beads, single and double bell-shaped
beads, and thin circular diskettes, similar to this one. However, this diskette is reportedly found at Lothal and if so, this would be the first
ever object of its kind to be found at IVC sites in Western India. It has been fashioned with a rim and two very small holes with a neat cleft in
on the radius. The technique and method of its manufacture are a testament to the skills and metallurgical knowledge of the Indus Valley
Civilization.

The known coins of Chhimuka II in the 'Junnar lion' type are exceedingly rare and can be counted on fingers of a hand. The relationship
between Satakani and Chhimuka II is clearly illustrated through this coin type and it is evident that the chronological difference between
the two cannot be very much as the execution of their coins is almost identical. These coins therefore serve as a substantiation of two rulers
named 'Chhimuka' in the Satavahana dynasty, Chhimuka II being distinct than Chhimuka/Simuka the originator of the dynasty.

Erich, 9.38g. (Length: 34.51, Width: 32.35) Extremely fine, Very rare.
The stamp is composed of a number of symbols, in different perspectives, and might have had a legend in small Brahmi letters in the centre;
however, it is not readable. Above the 'legend', to left a Ganges dolphin symbol, with a six-armed symbol to its right and two bow-and
arrow symbols juxtaposed to extreme right. Below the 'legend', a boar facing left, a 'rising sun'-like emblem and a goddess, standing
frontally.

118. Terracotta ball-shaped sealing from Western Gangetic valley, (c.100-200 AD), 0.97g, with Brahmi inscription Sagha
Sokhadake followed by an altar-like symbol. Sokhadake might mean 'Sokshadake' or 'sprinkled water'. Sprinkling water was
a ritual used for purifying or offering oblations. (Length: 17.58, Width: 15.59) Extremely fine, Very rare.

122. Maghas of Kaushambi - alloyed coin of Vasishthiputra Shivamagha (c.200-250 AD), unlisted in major publications,
2.11g. Obv: three-arched hill and tree-in-railing; Brahmi legend reading anticlockwise outwards around (Rajño)
Vasishthipu(tra)…. Rev: humped bull standing right. Good very fine, Rare.
The metronymic 'Son of Vasisthi' suggests Shivamagha to be the issuer of this coin as indicated by terracotta sealings in his name. The
general features of the coin are in line with Magha issues, but the occurrence of circular legend is a feature borrowed from earlier
monarchical issues of Kaushambi.
123. Maghas in Central India/Chattisgarh, potin unit of Vasishthiputra Arjuna (c.200-250 AD), unreported in any catalogue
and unique so far, 4.42g. Obv: seated Nandi in centre; Brahmi legend from 6 o'clock Rajño Vasishthiputrasya Arjunasya
anticlockwise around. Rev: three-arched hill. Extremely fine, Unique so far.
Sold for : ` ......................... Estimate : ` 80,000 - 1,00,000
The Maghas succeeded the Bodhis and the Senas in Central India around 200AD. Very little is known about them but they appear to have
captured the area around Kaushambi later, as evident from their coins. The attribution of this coin to the Maghas is as yet tentative but most
plausible. The choice of Sanskrit for its inscription suggests an advanced Classical language culture that gradually took hold in the
aftermath of the Satavahanas.
124 125
124. Hiranyakas of Rayalaseema/South-Central Karnataka, lead coin of Mahasenapati Vasithiputa Khadakama (c.250

around its head; Brahmi legend ...thiputasa Herañakānām Khada(kama)… from 5 to 10 o'clock. Rev: a tree in railing and a
ten-arched hill surmounted by a crescent, with wavy line below. Extremely fine, Extremely rare.
The Hiranyakas rose to prominence as a dynasty after the fall of the Satavahanas in mid-3rd century AD. They were matrimonially related
to the Ikshvakus. Although many Hiranyaka coins are known, those with clearly legible inscriptions are exceedingly rare. Recently known
evidence suggests that they began issuing coins as 'Mahasenapatis' and then assumed the royal title of 'King'.
125. Lesser Satavahanas of Banavasi - uninscribed potin 'bull' type coin, (c.300-350AD), 1.50g. Obv: bull standing facing
right, two lines below. Rev: strung bow and arrow symbol. Extremely fine, Rare.
Most likely an issue of Buddhananda Satakani, but without any legend.

pillar inscription. This coin type, modelled on the coins of late Kushans is a fitting testimony to that claim.

By far the most attractive and elegantly executed royal portrait in ancient India is seen on this particular variety of the 'archer' type. The
king stands in his muscular glory, showing off his lean energetic physique. This is matched by the slender beauty of the Lakshmi figure on
the reverse, with her delicately poised posture.

About extremely fine, Extremely rare.
Jagatunga' or 'Tallest (by fame/valour) in the World was a title held by more than one Rashtrakuta rulers. However, Govinda III appears to
be the best fit for the purpose of attributing this coin. He was an illustrious king, credited with many victories, including those against the
Pratiharas of Kannauj, the Palas of Bengal, the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi and the Pallavas of Kanchi. The title 'Apratihata' or 'invincible’
applied to him in the coin legend is therefore a very fitting acknowledgement of his triumphs. Another significant characteristic of the coin
is the pseudo- Arabic inscriptions on both sides. It is a well-known fact that the Rashtrakutas were friendly with the Islamic Caliphate of
Baghdad. The backbone of their friendship was a thriving trade in horses carried out from ports on the Western Coast of India, which was
under Rashtrakuta control. These horses proved crucial in the campaigns which the Rashtrakutas conducted against other ruling powers.
There were even Arab colonies on the Western Coast and some Arabs had also entered Rashtrakuta service, as we know from copperplate
inscriptions. Conceivably, many Arab gold coins must have arrived through the trade into India and they appear to have provided the
design inspiration for Rashtrakuta gold coins. The reign of Govinda III fits well with the heyday of this trade and the fact that he chooses to
show him as a horse rider also befits the nexus established between the Arabs and the Rashtrakutas through commercial activities. The
mention of 'Garuda-dhwaja' or 'Ensign of the Garuda' in the legend refers to the dynastic emblem of the Rashtrakutas, who were
Vaishnavites and employed Garuda the bearer of Vishnu to show their devotion to their patron deity.

seated couchant on a pedestal with lamp-posts in front and rear, flywhisk (Chauri) and sun-moon sign above the back, 2x
Kannada letters 'Shri', 1x Kannada legend Parijwala and 1x Kannada legend Nolamba. Extremely fine, Very rare.
It is not yet certain which Nolamba ruler held the title 'Parijwala' but judging by the style and the fabric of the coin suggests that it might be
attributed to Dileepa Irivanolamba (940-967AD).

171. Nolambas of Nolambawadi, Central Karnataka, Polalachola II Nanni Nolamba ©. 969-975AD), gold punch-marked
heavy gadyana of an unusual fabric and style, made in beaten gold with repousse punches, not published in any catalogue of
South Indian coins, 5.76g, height: 53.37mm, width: 53.36mm. Obv: a die-struck figure of seated Nandi, facing left, in the
centre, surrounded by 11 punches of Kannada letter No. A further eight punches applied along the margin - 4 x seated Nandi
facing left with sun and moon on the back, 2 x Kannada letter Shri, 1 x Ankusha or elephant goad, 1 x Kannada legend
Nolamba. Extremely fine, Exceedingly rare.
Coins of this fabric are a recent discovery in South Indian numismatics. This piece is from a small group of coins of similar fabric which are
attributed to the Nolambas, Kakatiyas and other feudatories under the Chalukyas of Kalyani. They require further research and
appreciation.
172. Kakatiyas of Warangal, gold punch-marked gadyana, repousse fabric (900-1000 AD), 3.79g, height: 31.23mm,
width: 31.26mm. Obv: Nine punches struck deeply on a very thin flan - 5x boar facing right with sun and moon above, 2x
Kannada letter 'Shri' twice in one punch, 1x Kannada legend Manda and 1x Kannada legend lika. Extremely fine, Very rare.
Most likely an issue of Gunda IV (955-995AD), an early Kakatiya ruler who ruled as a feudatory of the Rashtrakutas. The title 'Mandalika’
might refer to the feudatory status of Gunda IV.
173. Kakatiyas of Warangal, gold punch-marked heavy gadyana, repousse fabric, attributed to period of Prola I (c.1052-1076
AD), 5.79g, height: 58.83mm, width: 58.19mm. Obv: in centre, frontal figure of a four-armed deity struck from a single die;
eight punches around - 2 x two Kannada 'Shri', 4 x stylized lion facing right, 1 x Kannada legend Ahita Gaja, 1 x Kannada
legend Kesari. Along the border, 14 punches - seven lotus symbols alternating with seven 'boar facing right, sun and moon
above'. Extremely fine, Extremely
rare.
This coin is highly unusual and worthy of further research, perhaps constituting a votive issue made for donating at a temple. The title
'Ahita/Ajita Gaja Kesari' is not known from any Kakatiya inscriptions, but similar titles like 'Ari Gaja Kesari' and 'Raya Gaja Kesari' are
known for Kakatiya rulers after Prola I (c.1052-1076). Most likely, this coin is an issue of Prola I, acknowledged as 'the lion who is
invincible over elephant'.

174. Kakatiyas of Warangal, gold punch-marked gadyana issued by a 'Lenka' (feudatory) chief, repousse fabric, (1100-1200
AD), 3.76g, height: 30.95mm, width: 29.97mm.. Obv: Nine punches struck deeply on a very thin flan - a boar facing right
with sun and moon above in the centre, 2x Kannada letter 'Shri', 4x six-petal lotuses, 1x Kannada legend Koma and 1x
Kannada legend Lenka. Extremely fine, Very rare.
The Kakatiyas emerged as independent rulers in late 12th century. Prior to this, they ruled as feudatories of the Chalukyas of Kalyana. But
they also had feudatories of their own and these were known as 'Lenkas', lietrally meaning 'bodyguards'. We do not know who 'Koma
Lenka' exactly was, but it is certain that he was one of these feudatories. The fabric of the coin suggests an early date and most likely Koma
Lenka ruled under Prola I (c.1052-1076).
175. Kakatiyas of Warangal, gold punch-marked gadyana, repousse fabric (1100-1200 AD), 3.75g, height: 28.43mm, width:
28.76mm.. Obv: Nine punches struck deeply on a very thin flan - a boar facing right with sun and moon above in the centre,
2x Kannada letter 'Shri', 4x dotted lotus symbol, 1x Kannada legend Ahi /ta Gaja and 1x Kannada legend Kesari. Extremely
fine, Very rare.
The title 'Ahita/Ajita Gaja Kesari' is not known from any Kakatiya inscriptions, but similar titles like 'Ari Gaja Kesari' and 'Raya Gaja
Kesari' are known for Kakatiya rulers after Prola I (c.1052-1076). Most likely, this coin is an issue of Prola I, acknowledged as 'the lion who
is invincible over elephant'.

rare.
A number of Kakatiya rulers including Pratapa Rudra I, Queen Rudramma and Ganapati Deva adopted the title 'Raya Gaja Kesari'. The
term 'Gaja Kesari' (lion over elephant) is alluded in a pictorial form on the obverse of this coin.
177. Kakatiyas of Warangal, gold gadyana with title 'Daya-gaja-Kesari', (c.1200-1300AD), MNC 679-683, 3.52g. Obv: nine
punches out which six are visible - boar to left, Kannada letter Shri, 2 x lotus symbols, Telugu legend Daya, Telugu legend
Gaja/Kesari. Very fine, Extremely rare.
The title 'Daya-gaja-kesari' was adopted by a number of Kakatiya rulers including Pratapa Rudra I, Queen Rudramma and Ganapati Deva.
178. Western Gangas as feudatories of the Rashtrakutas, gold punch-marked Gadyana, repousse fabric (900-1000 AD),
3.79g, height: 30.84mm, width: 31.58mm. Obv: Nine punches struck deeply on a thin flan, 5x elephant standing in profile to
right, 2x Kannada letters 'Shri', 1x Kannada legend Mara and 1x Kannada legend Pandya?. Extremely fine, Very rare.
The attribution of these coins is uncertain, but judging by its similarity in fabric and style to the Kakatiya coins, it is plausible to attribute the
type to Maraismha II Satyavakya (963-975 AD).

Stylistically, this coin is linked to the 'U'-shaped fanams which usually bear three punches. It is in a typological sense only one arm of
the 'U' with a punch at the top and bottom.

An inscription at Rajuru in Ron taluka of Dharwad district, Karnataka, mentions Jagadekamalla ruling from his capital at Kalyanapura. It
records that, while Prabhu Joga was administering Rajuru, an image of the god Jogesvara was installed and several gifts of land and money
were made to the temples of Jogesvara, Gavaresvara and Somanatha. This record is dated 1033AD. It is plausible that 'Jagava' of this coin is
the same as Prabhu Joga mentioned in this inscription.

Vyaghrapada was a Rishi or sage and an ardent devotee of Nataraja Shiva of Chidambaram. He had vowed to offer the freshest of flowers to

Vyaghrapada. So Shiva conferred him the boon to have tiger's feet. Armed with this divine gift, Vyaghrapada climbed inaccessible places
to pick flowers for Shiva. This numismatic depiction of Vyaghrapada is unique so far.

306. Akbar (1556-1605) - silver ½ Kori, mintless and dateless, with Allahu Akbar/Jalla Jalalahu legends on obverse and reverse,
2.02g. Extremely fine, Extremely rare.
This is an extremely rare fraction of an unusual Mughal issue (for a full Kori of the same type see our Auction 26, lot 286, 21-1-2017, which
hammered for INR 85000). Even though the coin does not bear a mint-name, the style of engraving and decoration make it absolutely
certain that it must have been a product of Ahmedabad mint. Akbar's silver coins, struck to the local Kori/Mahmudi standards in various
local types are known from South Gujarat/Baglana and Kathiawad/Junagarh areas. However, the Ahmadabad issues bears witness to the
fact that such coins were also struck at the imperial mint; perhaps, their issue was prompted military campaigns in the mid-1590s which
resulted in complete subjugation of Gujarat following the rebellion of Muzaffar III.
(x1.5)
307. Akbar (1556-1605 AD), silver square rupee, mintless and dateless type, KM 91.1, 11.35g, with Allahu Akbar on obverse
and Jal Jalalahu on reverse, variety with 'Jim' of 'Jal' extended into a long stroke, floral decorative fields on both sides.
About extremely fine, Very rare type.
The type was introduced by Akbar soon after AH 990, to herald the 'timeless' Islamic Millenium, where he would be the 'Khalifah' or
supreme leader. On a practical level, it helped counter the discounting of older coins by shroffs who relied on the date mentioned on
the coin to apply it.
Similar coin was sold in our Auction 39 Lot 364 at hammer Rs. 1,00,000.

439. Nizams of Hyderabad - Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II (1763-1803), silver rupee in the name of Shah Alam II, Fathabad
Dharur mint, AH1181 or 1182/XX, inverted fly-whisk symbol on the reverse, 10.80g. Very fine, Extremely rare.
The Gazetteer for Bhir (Beed) district, Maharashtra State furnishes the information about Bhir and Dharur -
In mid-18th century, Sultanji Nimbalkar, a Maratha soldier deserted Shahu and joined forces of the Nizam, Asaf Jah I. He was assigned the
district of Bhir and the Sarkars of Dharur and Pathri as part of his Jagir. His descendants, namely son Hanmant Rao and grandson Dhanpat
Rao, continued to hold the titles to this Jagir. In 1773, Nizam Ali Khan confiscated the Jagir from Dhanpat Rao as he was not pleased with
his conduct, particularly in the war with the Peshwa.
The date on this rupee suggests it was issued in 1767/68, when Dharur was still a part of the Nimbalkar Jagir. It is likely that a mint was run
here for a very short time to settle dues with the Nizam. This coin is hitherto the only known example of Dharur mint in the name of Shah
Alam II.

Rahatgarh is located in Sagar district and commands a strategic position on the road from Bhopal to Sagar. In early 19th century, a Muslim
courtier of Bhopal took charge of the fort. He refused to pay tribute either to the Scindias or to Bhopal. Daulat Rao Scindia personally
besieged the fort in 1807 and won it on 14 November 1807. He renamed it 'Daulatgarh' after himself. Rahatgarh is one of the rarest mints of
Gwalior state. It appears to have run only for a very short time as issues of only RY 4 to 7 are known.
