Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 4:31 pm It's from the Mauryan empire, depending how well the set of punchmarks it legible it can be assigned to a specific period/rules, have a look at http://coinindia.com/galleries-maurya.html which covers some coins of that series.

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 5:10 pm Correct, it's a silver "karshapana" from the Mauryan Empire. I think yours is of the type labelled "GH 574". The coins were issued circa 300-100 BC. We don't know precise chronologies for the different types. I moved your thread to the Ancients section; our ancients experts might be able to add more details. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
