Full Description:

Ancient Western Malwa, Post-Mauryan period, Pushyamitra (200-150 BC), Lead Unit, Obv: a symbolic composition of a bull facing left, a railed tree to the left, taurine and a triangle-headed standard, Rev: double wavy line with fishes in between, an Ujjaini symbol above, Brahmi legends "Pusami" to the left and "tasa" to the right, indistinctly visible, 10.4g, 17.75mm, (Ancient Indian Coins, W. Pieper # 570), choice very fine, Very Rare.

Note: It is plausible that the 'Pusamita' mentioned on this coin is 'Pushyamitra', the Sunga ruler. However, the name is not accompanied by any royal title  which would be odd for coins issued by a powerful ruler like Pushyamitra Sunga.
