Extremely fine, Very rare.
Kothari lists a coin of 26 gm for this type. This must be a 2/3rd unit in the same denominational standard. Such heavyweight coins are exceptional in the die-struck 'Ujjain' series of uninscribed post-Mauryan coinages. Most likely, they represented equivalent of multiples of silver Karshapana coins.
