A small coin… a vast history. 🪙🇮🇳
More than 2,400 years old, this silver Karshapana takes us back to the age of Magadha and King Kalashoka of the Shishunaga dynasty.
Its ancient punch marks — Sun, Bull, Elephant, Wheel and other symbols — offer a glimpse into the political and cultural world of early India.
Kalashoka’s reign is traditionally associated with the Second Buddhist Council at Vaishali and the rise of Pataliputra as a major centre of power.
Every mark on this little piece of silver carries a story.
Ancient India. Preserved in a coin. 🪙
