On the basis of discernible minting techniques, ancient Indian coins can be broadly divided into four classes, viz, (i) archaic die-struck including the so-called ‘punch-marked’, (ii) cast, (iii) repousse and (iv) die-struck. In contrast to the coins of class I those of class IV may be characterised as “sophistically” die-struck.
