<p>[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2363617, member: 44140"]Yes they are the same symbol. The two coins are quite far apart chronologically. The Ujjani symbol exists in many, many variations. I do not know if this the intent of the design, but could very well be an evolutionary step in the symbol, or a modification to fit the size. The symbol did evolve in the 1/2 cent AD into the Satavahana dynastic symbol like the ones on these Satakarni elephant coins. You probably have your mint city. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Sunga-Border.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The Tree is a usually a Bodi Tree where Buddha obtained enlightenment.
