| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

The Mauryan karshapana presents a classification headache that has occupied scholars for decades — the series spans multiple dynasties, regional mints, and weight standards, making precise attribution genuinely difficult. Bronze examples complicate matters further, as the canonical imperial karshapana was silver; bronze issues tend to represent local or subsidiary circulation rather than central Pataliputra production, and their punch-mark sequences often reflect regional monetary authority rather than imperial decree.
