DCC: DEMA YURII COLLECTION OF WORLD COINS

It is very difficult to identify these protocoins with any accuracy due to their often poor condition and a large number of varieties (we are talking about both the approximate dates of issue and the issuer itself). — This demonstrated ancient coin is no exception: it may turn out that it actually belongs to an even earlier period of Indian history: to the so-called "Pre-Mauryan period" (for example, the Magadha Kingdom).

5 symbols on the obverse (sun, animal...) and 1 on the reverse.

The shape of the coin is a rectangle.

Silver: 16 mm - 3.3 g
Reference price: 13$
