| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse is uninscribed and devoid of intentional design, presenting a plain, flat silver surface with no punch-marked devices or symbols. The flan exhibits minor surface irregularities and natural flow lines consistent with the hand-cut and hammer-struck production technique of ancient Indian punch-marked coinage. No legend, inscription, or secondary marks are present. The overall surface retains a dark grey-brown patina typical of ancient silver coinage recovered from the Indian subcontinent. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Gandharan janapadas produced some of the earliest punch-marked coinage on the subcontinent, predating the Mauryan imperial issues that would eventually standardize silver currency across northern India. These fractional pieces circulated in a region sitting astride the trade routes connecting the Iranian plateau to the Gangetic plain — a geography that made Gandhara wealthy and its coinage widely traveled. The punches themselves were applied by multiple strikes from individual dies, which is why no two specimens carry identical mark arrangements.
