Satavahanas, Junnar region, Siri Satakani (c.100-50BC), Alloyed Copper, 7.12g, “Abhisheka Lakshmi” type, Obv: Goddess Lakshmi seated in a yogic posture on a lotus with extended hands holding a Lotus, surmounted by an Elephant, in each. The Elephants lustrate the goddess with water-pots held in their trunks, Brahmi legend “Raño Siri Satakanisa” above and three-arched hills in lower corners, Rev: Ujjain symbol with Swastikas in orbs, enclosed in a rectangular border. Extremely fine, extremely rare. The Abhisheka Lakshmi type of Junnar is one of the most attractive types of Satavahana coins. The fact that less than 10-12 specimens are known reflects its extreme rarity and desirability amongst enthusiasts of Satavahana coinage. The portrayal matches very closely with a bas-relief from the rock cut cave complex at Pitalkhora, which is now in the CSMVS, Mumbai.
