| Aversbeschreibung | Irregular rectangular copper flan bearing multiple punch-marked devices applied in the characteristic Mauryan tradition. A prominent sun symbol with radiating spokes occupies the upper central field, accompanied by what appears to be a six-armed symbol or taurine device to the lower left. Additional smaller punch marks, including dot and geometric motifs, are scattered across the flat field, consistent with imperial Mauryan coinage iconography. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Mauryan copper quarter karshapana occupied the lowest practical denomination in an empire that stretched from the Indus Valley to the edges of the Deccan. Punch-marked rather than die-struck in the conventional sense, these pieces were authenticated by a series of banker's marks added during circulation — each punch representing a merchant or money-changer's personal guarantee of metal quality. The accumulation of those marks across a single coin's lifetime can effectively document its commercial biography.
