Punch-marked silver and cast copper coins, usually believed to be the currency of the Mauryan and the Sunga periods, have been found from the lower starta of excavation at Bangarh, already referred to. What appears to be a plumbing bob of bell-metal has been discovered among objects of these strata. A crucible made of clay (3.55″ in length and 2.75″ in diameter) has also been found among them.
