Medieval Maharashtra, alloyed 'Vishnukundin' type Coin attributed most likely to the Kumbhakarna dynasty of Thalner in Khandesh region, 4.05g. Obv: Humped bull facing right; Brahmi legend Shri Ranavigra above. Rev: Sankha shell between two lamp-posts within a rayed circle.
Very Fine+, Rare.
Coins akin to the Vishnukundin fabric, but showing bull instead of lion, are known chiefly from Northern Maharashtra, through an area stretching from Khandesh to Vidrabha along the south banks of Tapi-Purna river systems. They can be tentatively attributed to local dynasties such as the Nikumbhas, the Kumbhakarnas and the Rashtrakutas.
