Although the issuers of these coins left no names on them, it is evident that they exercised kingship through Vedic sacrifices. Their message was communicated through symbols - the bull on this coin most likely suggests a Vrshotsarja sacrifice and the wheel symbol above suggests the issuer’s aspiration to be a Chakravarti, or ‘universal monarch’.
