Sebakas ruled Vidarbha region from about 30 BC to late 1st century. Their coinage reveals their family name Sebakas, and hence the dynasty is known as Sebakas. The earlier issues of their coinage carried the Bull emblem alongwith the brahmi legend bearing Kings name. They were struck in copper and resembled the shape {sometimes rectangular, sometime squarish] of Sangam age coins. Arched hill, Nandipada, wheel were the typical devices struck. The later Sebakas influenced by the Chutus, struck lead coins, which typically carried the horse symbol on the obverse and Chaitya, river on the reverse.
