Hindu Coins of Medieval India
Auction Date: 10-08-2019
Copper
Medieval South Gujarat/Sausrashtra, unattributed copper coin of feudatories under Rashtrakutas, with title 'Madana Pratapa', (700-800 AD), unpublished, 0.49g. Obv: Horseman riding to right carrying a sword. Rev: Legend in two lines Shri Madana / Pratapa.
Extremely fine, Very rare.
The motif of the horseman suggests that this type may have been issued by a Rashtrakuta ruler, or one of their feudatories. The title 'Madana Pratapa' as yet is not corroborated by any other evidence, so it is difficult to say if this coin is an issue of a feudatory or Rashtrakuta branch of South Gujarat (Lata) or the imperial Rashtrakutas.
