Which of the following dynasties circulated the lead coins?
Options:
A . Satavahana
B . Nand
C . Maurya
D . Kushana
Answer: Option A Answer: (a) The Satavahana kings mostly used lead as the material for their coins. Next to lead they used an alloy of silver and copper, called ‘potin’. Most of the Satavahana coins have on one side the figure of an elephant, horse, lion or Chaitya. The other side shows the so-called Ujjain symbol – a cross with four circles at the end of the two crossing lines.
