Photo reshoot of this commoner from the collection... The date of this coin is off flan despite the rather high grade. I did find another coin with the same obverse die linked with a different reverse die both mention him as Mahakshatrapa. The same obverse die belongs to the date 132 SE or AD 210. This coin has a very tight planchet and rather high relief, the life like artistic execution of the bust is better than most of the series. Rudrasena I (r.AD 199 - 222) AR Drachm 13.8 mm x 2.10 grams Mint "B" (s. AD 210) Obverse: Blundered Greek legend around. Bust of Rudrasena I wearing Satrapal cap. Reverse: Chaitya (3-arched hill), river below, Two crescent moons and sun above, Brahmi legend around- Rajno mahakshatrapasa Rudrasihaputrasa Rajno mahakshatrapasa Rudrasenasa.
