| Additional information |
The Western Gangas ruled the Gangavadi region of what is now southern Karnataka, and by the later centuries of their existence were increasingly subordinate to the Rashtrakutas and then the Cholas. Small silver punch-marked and die-struck fractions from this period are poorly documented in the literature — attributions to specific rulers remain contested among South Indian numismatists, and "Gunatunga" appears in dynastic records without a firmly established regnal range.
At 0.5 g and 6 mm, this is a fractional unit, likely circulating in local agrarian markets rather than long-distance trade.
