Answer 1

Answer:

Punch-marked coins are a type of early coinage of India, dating to between about the 6th and 2nd centuries BC. The study of the relative chronology of these coins has successfully established that the first punch-marked coins initially only had one or two punches, with the number of punches increasing over time.

The first coins in India may have been minted around the 6th century BC[citation needed] by the Mahajanapadas of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. They were certainly produced by the mid-4th century BC, shortly before the invasion of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. According to Joe Cribb, Indian punch-marked coins go back to the mid-4th century BC or slightly earlier, and actually started with the punch-marked coinage of the Achaemenids in Kabul/ Gandhara area. 19th-century proposals which suggested an origin from as early as 1000 BC, independent of the introduction of coins in Asia Minor, are "no longer given any credence".[1]

The coins of this period were punch-marked coins called Puranas, Karshapanas, or Pana. Several of these coins had a single symbol, for example, Saurashtra had a humped bull, and Dakshin Panchala had a Swastika, others, like Magadha, had several symbols. These coins were made of silver of a standard weight but with an irregular shape. This was gained by cutting up silver bars and then making the correct weight by cutting the edges of the coin.
