Very Fine +, the greatest rarity in western kshatrapa dynasties, Unique.

This silver coin is significant for a number of reasons – firstly it brings to light a new Western Kshatrapa ruler named 'Horumurnata'. Prof. Harry Falk of Berlin is of the opinion that this name is linguistically connected to 'Horamurnda' which means 'donation giver' in Scythian language. Secondly, it is the first numismatic instance that a Kshaharata ruler has issued a coin with Kardamaka insignia. The 'sun and crescent' symbol is usually found on early issues of Chashtana as Kshatrapa, however the usual position of the two is reversed on his coins. The inscription on this coin is comparable to the legends of Nahapana. It is likely that Horumurnata ruled for a short time as a successor/subordinate to Cashtana in the political turmoil that raged in the Deccan and Gujarat between the Kshaharatas and the Satavahanas which ultimately resulted in the death of Nahapana and the elevation of Cashtana to the higher title of 'Mahakshatrapa'.
