    Thats wonderful Swetha. Thanks for the info. Experts can confirm its
    authentication.

    C - generally refers to Circa denoting an approximation in
    date/year. When the year is uncertain c is used. The definition
    given in wikipedia is as below :
    *********************
    The Latin word circa, literally meaning about, is often used to
    describe various dates (often birth and death dates) that are
    uncertain. For example, one could say that Pearl Harbor was attacked
    circa (often abbreviated c. or ca.) 1941, if the year were
    uncertain. The further back in time a given date is, the broader the
    time period which circa encompasses:

    Within the last hundred years, circa should be accurate to within
    five years (e.g., 1940, 1945, 1950, 1955);
    Within the last five hundred years, circa should be accurate to
    within ten years (e.g., 1720, 1730, 1740, 1750);
    Within the last thousand years, circa should be accurate to within
    twenty-five years (e.g., 1250, 1275, 1300, 1325);
    Within the last two thousand years, circa should be accurate to
    within fifty years (e.g., 150s, 200s, 250s, 300s);
    Within the span of recorded human history, circa should be accurate
    to within one hundred to two hundred years
