<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2421346, member: 44140&quot;]This tiny straggler appeared in a lot of Satavahana coins I received. I have a tentative attribution for it, but I must admit how much I do not know about ancient coins. Here I must ask for the help of those that know more.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin has a fairly clear Brahmi legend (considering). It appears to read &quot;Sri Senasa&quot; Senasa might be the name of the ruler. Some preliminary research leads me to believe the coin belongs the Bhodi Dynasty ruling the Andhara region. Yet Bhodi doesn&#039;t doesn&#039;t strike me as the family name of the dynasty but rather some type of Buddhist honorific title. Similar to the famous Bhodi tree located at Anuradhapura. The coin is without a doubt lead and quite tiny, and shares elements with the coins of the Satavahana, the Western Satraps and fabric with the Chutu. This coin features the railed tree on one side and the 3 arched hill and crescent, which we have seen before on all of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts.
