| 裏面の説明 | Reverse bearing a small number of banker's marks or subsidiary punches applied intaglio into the otherwise plain silver surface, a characteristic feature of Mauryan punch-marked karshapanas from the Mathura mint. The visible marks include what appear to be two small symbol punches in the upper field, possibly a circle-and-dot motif and an animal or floral device, along with an isolated circle-and-dot mark positioned in the lower right field. The remainder of the reverse is left plain and shows the characteristically smooth, slightly convex surface produced by the hammering of the flan. No legends or inscriptions are present on this side. |

The Mauryan karshapana was not designed — it was cut and punched, with each banker's mark applied individually, making every piece technically unique. Ashoka's reign saw the imperial punch-marked coinage reach its widest geographic distribution, carried by trade networks extending from the Ganges plain to the Hellenistic frontier kingdoms of Bactria. The Mathura mint served the upper Doab region, a corridor of particular commercial and administrative importance under Mauryan governance.
Mitchiner's AC#4229 attribution relies primarily on the specific combination of punched symbols rather than any mint mark in the modern sense — the "mint" designation reflects scholarly inference from find-spot concentrations.
