The absence of this goddess on coins during Vasudeva's reign suggests a pause in its representation. Notably, the legends on this coin are clearer, offering a detailed view of the throned goddess, including a complete representation of the throne or chair. The Brahmi legends 'Vi Ru' and 'Nya' are distinctly visible, likely making their first appearance. It is as an Ex Lot from Marudhar Arts.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
