Hindu Coins of Medieval India
Auction Date: 12-04-2025
Copper
Hindu kings of Kashmir, Utpala dynasty - copper dinar of Sankara varman (c.883-902 AD), MNC 159-160, 6.10g. Obv: stylized representation of a seated goddess; Sarada legend Sa(nka)… to right. Rev: stylized king standing facing slightly left, sacrificing over altar; Sarada legend Varma below his arm.
Good very fine, Rare.
The style of this coin is much cruder than other issues of Sankara varman and it is likely that the legend on the reverse reads 'Varddha…’ rather than 'varman'. If this is the case then it might be appropriate to attribute the coin to Sankara Vardhana, who ruled transiently in the chaotic period between the various turns of Chakra varman's reign.
