1 Karshapana - Magadha Janapada

Aversbeschreibung	Five punch-marked symbols applied individually across the flat flan, including a solar symbol, an animal motif, and three additional geometric or symbolic devices. The punchmarks are distributed across the obverse field in a characteristic Magadhan arrangement, each impressed with a distinct die. The surface is irregular in outline, typical of the hand-cut and punched silver coinage of the Janapada period. No legends or inscriptions are present, the design being composed entirely of symbolic punchmarks.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse field is largely plain and unworked, bearing at most one or two faint secondary punchmarks of indistinct form, applied with considerably less force than those on the obverse. The surface shows the characteristic rough texture of a hand-cut silver flan. The punchmarks, where present, are shallow and poorly preserved, consistent with the counter-marking practices common to Magadhan punch-marked coinage of this period.
