This beautiful type is very rare, not previousely published. Stylistically, compared to the other coins from the regioun, these probably date to the later period of the 4th century BC.

Chedi (or Chetiya) Janapada, covering parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, was one of the original 16 Janapadas. Sometimes in ca.4th century, the Vidarbha region (previousely a part of Chetiya) became independent.
