Beschrijving keerzijde Reverse left entirely plain and uninscribed, confirming the uniface nature of this punch-marked issue. The surface shows the natural texture of the hammered silver flan with no applied punch-marks, devices, or legends, consistent with the standard practice for early punch-marked coinage of the Wainganaga river region.

Aanvullende informatie

The Wainganaga river region, in what is now eastern Maharashtra and western Vidarbha, sat at the edge of early punch-marked coin circulation networks spreading outward from the Gangetic heartland. Regional half-karshapana issues like this one were not imperial products — they were locally authorized fractions produced to meet small-denomination exchange needs that full karshapana weights couldn't practically serve. The Satavahana attribution for fifth-century BC issues is contested; the dynasty's confirmed rise postdates this piece by at least two centuries, making the issuing authority more accurately described as a pre-Satavahana regional authority operating within the broader janapada coinage tradition.
