Satavahanas, Tripuri region, Siri Sati, Lead, 12.95g, “Elephant” type, Obv: elephant walking to right, river with fishes below; Brahmi legend “Raño Siri Satisa” above, Rev: Female figure standing between two three-arched hills, flanked by Ujjain symbol to left and tree-in-railing to right (Bhandare tpr-4). Very fine, extremely rare.Tripuri marked the northernmost limit of the Satavahana empire. It was won from the local Datta kings by Satakani and subsequently ruled by his son Sati Siri. However, the Satavahana occupation did not last long. This makes coins of Sati Siri from this region extremely rare. He employed the characteristic feature of the local coinage – a standing human figure – but added other typically Satavahana features such as elephant to the type repertoire.
