Another Visvasimha, this time as Kshatrap:

This one displays flow lines around the portrait which is not often seen with these coins. It was perhaps struck at a higher temperature than most specimens. The vestigial Greek around the portrait is also well preserved for the type.

A little bit of the digit "200" is visible behind the bust. No coins are known from beyond SE 200.

I have a Viswasimha coin. But the title is off flan making it impossible to ascertain whether as Kshatrapa or Mahakshatrapa.

Here is another coin of Bhartrdaman. Its condition is too worn out to clearly read if it is as Kshatrapa or Mahakshatrapa. But the gap between Rajno/rajna and Kshatrapa is such that it appears like "rajno mahakshatrapa". See the coin and its overlay.

This coin issued by Viswasena in the capacity of Kshatrapa is preceded by the title "rajno" rather than "rajhah".

On this coin, "na" of Viswasena looks like "ha". But parts of "Bhartrdama" can be seen before putrasa. That confirms it is of Viswasena.

Overlay of the Damajadasreya coin posted by Finn235 on 08/08/2017. This coin has very clear legend showing full name of the ruler. Thank you Finn235 for sharing this coin.
