Indus Valley Civilization (mature phase, 2500 - 2000 BC), gold ornamental diskette, to be strung into a necklace, said to have been recovered as a surface find at Lothal, Gujarat. 2.11g. 30.79mm.Extremely fine, Extremely rare.A large hoard of such diskettes was found in May 2000 at Mandi in Muzaffarnagar district, Western Uttar Pradesh. The hoard was contained in two bronze containers and included many varieties of spacer beads, hollow terminal beads, single and double bell-shaped beads, and thin circular diskettes, similar to this one. However, this diskette is reportedly found at Lothal and if so, this would be the first ever object of its kind to be found at IVC sites in Western India. It has been fashioned with a rim and two very small holes with a neat cleft in on the radius. The technique and method of its manufacture are a testament to the skills and metallurgical knowledge of the Indus Valley Civilization.

Estimate: ₹ 3500 - ₹ 4000

Ancient, Archaic Series, Punch Marked Coinage, attributed to Pauravas of Kaushambi (c. 400-350 BC), Silver 1/2 Karshapana, this is a single symbol coin, depicting a turtle on obverse and a bankers’ mark on reverse. This series has been attributed to the Pauravas of Kaushambi. As per Puranas, on account of heavy floods in Hastinapur, a line of descendants of Pandavas and Kauravas (what was left of them after the famous Mahabharat war) left Hastinapur and migrated towards Kaushambi around 800 BC and settled there. Present issue is attributed to them. Pauravas were a smaller group of people (not finding mention in the list of 16 janapadas in Anguttara Nikaya) but were in existence during the times of Buddha, on account of which and due to use of an earlier weight standard, these coins are said to have been in circulation till a period when Magadha was spreading its empire but was yet to conquer the central/western parts of modern Uttar Pradesh. Thus the period during which this series might have been in circulation should not have lasted later than 380 BC to 360 BC, Mitchiner # pp.810 - 813 and Hardaker # pp. 109 - 113, very fine+, very rare.
