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). - [Previous: v1.c14.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c14.7) - [Next: v1.c14.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c14.9) - [Up: v1.c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c14.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c14.8) · Pramāṇa
