Additional information

Ayodhya's civic coinage of the third century falls within the broader tradition of janapada and city issues produced across the Gangetic plain during a period when imperial Kushan authority was fragmenting and local polities reasserted regional economic control. These bronzes circulated in a zone of intense religious significance — the city's identification with the birthplace of Rama was already ancient by this period, and local coin production was as much a statement of civic identity as a commercial necessity.
