A lead coin of Sangam age Cholas. These images of lead coin were sent to me by a seller from Tamil Nadu.
The most interesting thing about this coin is nothing but the metal used. Lead, being soft and highly reactive, does not survives the test of time. Perhaps Lead coins were widly used during the Sangam age than we think. These rare coins give a glimpse of the ancient numismatics.
