Ujjain Ancient Indian coin?

5 posts


Composition: Bronze
Weight: 4.4 grams

I see many other coins from Ujjain that are square and have a similar pattern, not sure if I can pin it down though.
This site is a good reference

I browsed through my Ancient Indian Coins Revisited last night and found out that the Ujjain symbol was also used on other coins. I originally thought it was the Ujjain symbol with dots, but after looking at it closer, I suspect they are probably worn swastikas. Also, it seems that the geometric design on the right hand side of the reverse is a tree in a railed case.
Hi,
Ujjain for sure. It has the ujjain symbol with taurins in middle. But the obverse is corroded beyond recognition. The nearest i could find (using reverse picture and weight/shape) is from Peiper's "Ancient Indian Coins revisited" # 362.
