Note : Kotilingala, an early historical site on the banks of the River Godavari in the Karimnagar district of Telangana, India, is a site of immense numismatic importance. The discovery of coins here in 1978 is considered a significant event in South Indian numismatics. These coins provide a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Satavahana dynasty, recognized as the first major dynasty to rule the Deccan region of ancient India.
Confirming Kotilingala as a Satavahana center: The presence of coins from early Satavahana rulers reinforces the idea that Kotilingala was a crucial center, possibly even the first capital, of the Satavahana kingdom.
