Cast Coins are those which used to be made from hot metal cast in moulds bearing the required impressions in negative. Sahni (1945) has made a classic study on the technique of casting coins as practised in Rohtak, Eran, Taxila, Mathurā etc. (*fig.* 20.1). His findings have been summarised by Mukherjee (1986, 1988).
