The evidence of the larger Bhir mound (Taxila) hoard indicates the circulations of the punched-marked coins in the 4th century B.C. The contents of the Chaman-i-Hazuri hoard may be considered to allude to the minting of the punch-marked pieces even in the 5th century B.C. The use of the punch-marked coins on a large scale in the Maurya period has already been suggested (Mukherjee and Lee, 1988).
