bust of king facing right, date behind, corrupt Greek inscription around

three arched hill with crescent in centre, moon to left and sun at bottom, Brahmi legend in Prakrit Rajna Maharaja Kshatrapasa Svami Sihasenaputrasa Rajna Mahakshatrapasa Svami Rudrasenasya

Photo from Todywalla, sale 96, lot 324

 

Similar to A. M. Fishman 36.3y

This important coin is the only specimen where a Kshatrapa king is called Maharaja. The coin differs from Fishman Type 36.3y in two respects. Firstly the legend starts at 2.30 instead of 9 o clock as on Fishman specimen, and secondly the sun is placed below the river as the room to place sun was available only by the side of the word svami.

 

However, the description does not appear to match the photo so there’s something wrong here
