FIG. 21. A punch-marked *Kārshāpaṇa* coin of copper with traces of thin silver plating on it, having a regular group of five symbols and a wt. standard of 32 *rattis*. These specimens seem to represent the debased coinage of the Mauryan administration introduced to replenish the exchequer or meet some unusual drain on the currency.
