Cunningham thought that the tale of silver coins was limited to three divisions, the *kārshāpaṇa*, with its half and its quarter (*Coins of Ancient India*, p. 46). To this we can now definitely add the name of one-sixteenth *kārshāpaṇa*. *Dvi-māsha* may also mean two pieces of *māsha* coins or one double piece; for purposes of grammatical rules the form of the word would be the same.
