Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi, uninscribed fractional coin in alloyed copper, (700-800 AD), 0.82g. Obv: Schematic depiction of a roaring lion of 'Vishnukundin' style. Rev: Schematic depiction of a fish within a rayed circle.

Extremely fine, Rare

This is likely to be the smallest fraction of the 'Vishnukundin' style coinage launched by their successor dynasty the Eastern Chalukyas. The motifs are highly schematized, but recognizable from their prototypes.
