Satavahanas, alloyed copper coin of Chhimuka II (c.50-30 BC), 'lion' type, Junnar region, not listed in PAIC, 3.62g. Obv: characteristic maned lion standing facing left, a three-arched hill below its belly and a ploughshare standard in a railing, with a small triangle-headed standard in front; Brahmi legend …Siri Chhimukasa above. Rev: 'Ujjain' symbol with Nandipadas in quadrants.
Nearly extremely fine, Extremely rare.
The known coins of Chhimuka II in the 'Junnar lion' type are exceedingly rare and can be counted on fingers of a hand. The relationship between Satakani and Chhimuka II is clearly illustrated through this coin type and it is evident that the chronological difference between the two cannot be very much as the execution of their coins is almost identical. These coins therefore serve as a substantiation of two rulers named 'Chhimuka' in the Satavahana dynasty, Chhimuka II being distinct than Chhimuka/Simuka the originator of the dynasty.
