Kumaras of Karhad - Kumara Isamula (c.60-80 AD), lead coin in 'Junnar lion' type, unlisted in major publications, 9.15g. Obv: Maned lion standing facing left; Brahmi legend Kumarasa… around. Rev: Three-arched hill and tree-in-railing on a platform enclosing a wavy line.

Very fine, Very rare.

This is a rare example of an early issue of Kumara Isamula from Junnar, as a co-ruler on behalf of Kshaharata Kshatrapa Nahapana, but before his defeat by the Satavahanas, after which Isamula struck more well-known coins with the title 'Mahakshatrapa'.
