Lot 10184 – Post-Gupta, unknown era, unknown type, archer, AV dinar, 7.83 g

Post-Gupta, unknown era, unknown type. AV dinar, 7.83 g. (19 mm). Obverse: figure standing facing, holding longbow in left hand, a chakra wheel with four spokes in bottom left field, possibly a standard to left, dotted border around. Reverse: Goddess/Lakshmi sitting facing on lotus, some crude inscription to right.

We have not been able to identify this coin, or any series of which it might form a part. It bears some basic resemblance to the Gupta archer type featuring Lakshmi sitting on reverse.

F-VF, crude strike.
