Karshapana

Aversbeschreibung	Irregular square flan bearing four punched symbols arranged across the field, a characteristic feature of Mauryan coinage. A prominent central motif depicts a stylized animal figure, possibly a bull or elephant, rendered in low relief using the punch-marked technique. Above the animal, a sun or solar symbol with radiating elements is visible. The symbols are deeply impressed into the flan, with each punch mark applied individually, consistent with the additive punch-marked coinage tradition of ancient India.

Reversbeschreibung	Plain or nearly plain square flan bearing a single punch-marked symbol in low relief, positioned toward the left portion of the field. The symbol appears as a circular or floral motif, consistent with a single banker's or issuer's mark commonly found on the reverse of Mauryan punch-marked coinage. The surface is worn and patinated, with the characteristic rough texture of a cast and punched ancient bronze flan.
