Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
The Satavahanas show traces of a matrilineal social structure which is reflected in the names of kings eg. Gautamiputra Shatakarani. They issued mainly lead and copper coins; their portrait-style silver coins were usually struck over coins of the Western Kshatrapa kings.
