Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 11:22 am Recent purchase...Don't know why but it just really appealed to me,the design and colouring...Here's a bit of history... Nagas of Padmavati 335-340AD 1/4 Kakini with quite nice detail for this type of coin and reasonably central. 9mm dia and 0.69gr. Obverse - Humped bull standing left. Reverse- Maharaja sri ga (Ganapati) in Brahmi script. Naga in Sanskrit means snake or serpent and so it's believed the earlier Nagas worshipped the snake.. The Nagas were a royal family of ancient central India and at their height ruled Vidisha,Padmavati,Kantipur and Mathura their capital being Padmavati Pawaya in modern day Madhya Pradesh in the Gwalior district. Rulers.. 210-231 CE Bhima Naga 231-245 CE Skanda Naga 245-260 CE Vasu Naga 260-275 CE Brihaspati Naga 275-290 CE Ravi Naga 290-305 CE Prabhakara Naga 305-320 CE Bhava Naga 320-335 CE Deva Naga 335-340 CE Ganapati Naga They issued 1/4..1/2..1 Kakini bronze coins ranging from 5-15mm in diameter with a variety of symbols on the obverse..Next to the table an example of the wheel obverse (not my coin...yet!)
