Archaic Silver Punch Marked, Bihar series, generally attributed to Magadha Janapada of pre-imperial period, Silver Vimshatika, 5.35g, Obv: Four punches - 1. Sun, 2. Six-armed symbol (in centre), 3. Crescent, 4. Sacrificial spoon; other smaller marks around, Rev: Minor 'banker's marks' (Rajgor Series 10). Extremely fine, extremely rare. This is probably the earliest coinage struck in the Magadha region, with a prominent 6-armed symbol in the centre.

The economies of Magadha and Kashi were linked by trade through the Ganga river.

Archaic Silver Punch Marked, Saurashtra region, attributed to Surashtra Janapada, 1/4 Karshapana, 0.78g, “Temple” type, Obv: A building with an arched entrance and three finials on a curved roof, enclosed in a railing.
