Traikutakas - silver drachm of Madhyamasena (c.350-400 AD), unpublished in major sources, 1.88g. Obv: Bust of king facing right wearing ribbed flat helmet. Rev: Three-arched hill in the centre, flanked by dotted sun and crescent; Brahmi legend …rama vaishnava Maharaja Madhyamasena.
About Very fine, Very rare.
The existence of a Traikutaka ruler named Madhyamasena is known from the discovery of the Matvan copperplate grant, found in North Konkan. In the coin legend, the letter Dhya in the king's name has been inscribed a bit stylized, however judging by the engraving hand of the other letters the best name to fit it would be Madhyamasena. A similar coin featured in our auction no. 37 in December 2020 and this is the second piece on offer. There has been a long debate about the chronological placement of the Traikutakas but numismatic evidence makes it clear that they ruled in 4th century AD. This has great importance for chronology of art, politics and history of the Konkan and Deccan, in general.
