Punch-Marked Coins
Technique: Sheets of silver alloy were cut, each coin impressed with multiple punches (five to ten symbols).
Symbols: Continuation of Mauryan motifs—geometric signs, sun, tree-in-railing, and animal figures.
Regional Persistence: South India (e.g., Ujjain janapada) maintained punch-marked issues until mid-1st century BCE.
