Very Fine, Extremely Rare.

This coin on obverse bears an unusual legend Ek Pai Sika Masa 6. Stevens, drawing upon a previous reading Ek Pai Sata Masa, speculates if this is a reference to 'seven Masha' the weight of the coin. The weight he lists is around 6.80g which would be equal to 7 Mashas, had that been intended. However, the legend on this coin makes it clear that the number of Mashas being referred to is 6 and the coin weighs around 9 gm which is a weight Stevens does not list, neither does it correspond to 6 Mashas. The coin is therefore enigmatic.
