Silver Coin. Chandra dynasty coin in excellent condition dating from betweeen AD 450 and AD 560. The obverse depicts a humped bull with a garland around his neck. In this coin the bull's head faces right whereas in most coins in this series it faces left. Above is a Brahmi inscription of the king's name. The bull and king's name are encircled in a ring of dots.The reverse bears a symbol that has been described by some as a stylised trident, but equally it may represent a Srivatsa (Temple of Sri, fertility goddess) found on many Mon and Pyu coins that share the Hindu influences. Above, there is a sun on the left and a crescent moon on the left. Again, all are within a circle of dots. weight: 3.74Gms
