Tribal Republics in North India, the Arjunayanas, copper coin, 'lion' type, (50 BC-50 AD), Handa 'Tribal Coins', p. 20, Type III, 3.21g. Obv: Lion seated on its haunches, line below. Rev: Tree in railing in the centre, Brahmi legend (Aju)nayanana… to left.

Very fine, Very rare.

The coins of the Arjunayanas are one of the rarest in the tribal series. Some of them resemble Yaudheya coins while some are close to Agra /Agodaka (Agroha) coins, thereby suggesting that the Janapada of the Arjunayanas was situated not very far from both these tribes. Greek historians refer to them as 'Arigaion' and they are also mentioned in the Allahabad pillar inscription of Samudra Gupta.
