Satavahanas, Siri Satakani (c.100-50BC), Lead, 15.71g, “Abhisheka Lakshmi” type, Obv: Goddess Lakshmi seated cross-legged on a Lotus, being lustrated by Elephants on either side standing on lotuses, Brahmi legend “…takanisa” vertically written to right, Rev: Ujjain symbol with Swastikas in orbs, enclosed in a double rectangular beaded border. Very fine, extremely rare. So far, ‘Abhisheka Lakshmi’ type coins of Siri Satakani are known from Junnar (rectangular, alloyed copper) and Newase-Paithan (round, lead) regions. On the former, the goddess is shown seated in a yogic posture, while on the latter she is shown standing frontally. This coin represents a completely different and distinct type from these two known varieties. Here is goddess is seated cross-legged and since the coin is round and of lead, it brings together different features than those known earlier. The reverse bears similarity with the Junnar type, so it is likely that this new type should also be assigned to the same region.
