<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 2006234, member: 57364&quot;]These are indeed fractional kakini of the Nagas Narwar. Padmavati was their capital. It is located in Madhya Pradesh in central northern India. The nagas were a bit of an &quot;in-between&quot;dynasty. Before various empires fought over this territory, most important the Western Satapas and the Satavahanas. Their end came with the expansion of the Gupta empire.</p><p>These coins are still plentifull available quite cheap, but as always nice ones are scarcer. The most prevalent come in thee sizes and designs and are attributed to three consecutive kings.</p><p>- There are big bull coin weighing close to 2 grams. These are considered to be issued by Bhavanaga and likely are the oldest. These also have a trident in the center of the inscription side.</p><p>- The small bulls are attributed to Ganapati. These weigh below 1.0 gram.</p><p>- Then there are coins with on one side an 8-spoked wheel and circular inscription on the other. These are Devanaga.</p><p>Usually you need multiple coins to be able to read the entire inscription. On Doug&#039;s coin, reading clockwise between 6 and 11 o&#039;clock, there is &quot;RaJa Sri&quot; the rest of the name is not readable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
