Silver coin of Gautamiputra Satakarni (overstruck on a coin of Nahapana), Satavahana dynasty, from Central India, late 1st CE. D: 1.8cm, W: 2.2g. Inv. CM 1907,0102.12. - The Satavahana king Gautamiputra (about AD 60-90) records a victory over the Scythian local ruler Nahapana. Coins of Nahapana that have been restruck by Gautamiputra, like this example, were perhaps taken as war booty by Gautamiputra after this victory and then reused. On the obverse of the coin, Nahapana's profile, encircled by a Greek inscription, is still visible beneath the hill and crescent symbol of Gautamiputra. On the reverse, only traces of Nahapana's design of an arrow and a thunderbolt remain around the perimeter of the overstruck cross with four circles.
