Comments

The origins of the mule

In this mule coin, the diameter of the coin field is 21 mms. The value of this coin, shown by a stylized international numeral ‘5’ below the lion capital, has a shorter gap in the bottom swing of the ‘5’. Tail of 5 is thick. The gap between the bottom of lion pedestal and Hindi word ‘Satyamev Jayte’ appears to be less. It is hypothesised that Basaveshwara Mule may have been produced by wrongly using Mahavir Obverse die.
