Lead
Ancient Western Malwa, die-struck lead coin of post-Mauryan period of 'Pusyamitra' (200-150 BC), 9.88g.

Rev: Double wavy line with fishes in between, 'Ujjain' symbol above it; brahmi legend Pusami to left and tasa to right, indistinctly visible.
Very fine+, Very rare.
It is plausible that the 'Pusamita' mentioned on this coin is the same as 'Pushyamitra' the Sunga ruler. However, the name does not have a royal title attached to it and it would be odd for a powerful king like Pushyamitra Sunga not to mention it on his coins.
