Which of the following Satavahana kings had counterstruck the silver coins of the Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana ?
Answer: A
The king was Gautamiputra Satakarni.
The Jogaltembhi hoard from Nasik district contained thousands of silver coins of the Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana, most of them restruck with Gautamiputra Satakarni's name and symbols. This confirms what the Nasik inscription of his mother, Gautami Balashri, claims: that he uprooted the Kshaharata dynasty and restored Satavahana power in the early second century CE.
Vasishthiputra Pulumavi was his son and successor, Yajna Sri Satakarni ruled later in the second century and issued his own silver coinage, and Skanda Sri Satakarni was a later minor king. None of them is linked with the Nahapana restrikes.
