| Aanvullende informatie |
These bent-bar pieces, sometimes called "shatamana" fractions, circulated in the Gandhara region during a period when the Achaemenid empire under Cyrus or Cambyses had either just absorbed or was actively pressuring the eastern satrapies. Gandhara appears in Darius I's Behistun inscription as a tribute-paying province, but these local silver issues predate or run parallel to that incorporation — evidence that indigenous exchange systems were functioning before Persian administrative coinage took hold.
The punched weight standard ties loosely to the Vedic shatamana unit.
