The coins on this page, or ones very similar to these, used to be incorrectly attributed to the Andhra janapada because these coin types were known from a single hoard found in Andhra. There have now been multiple finds of similar coins in Vidarbha, and so they have been reassigned to the Vidarbha janapada. See Prashant P. Kulkarni's paper "Coins of Vidarbha Janapada" in the ONS Newsletter, 178, Winter 2004 for a fuller discussion and more details.
