This exceptional Silver Punch-Marked coin originates from the Ujjaini region during the Mauryan Empire, dating to the 2nd-1st century BC—a pivotal period in ancient Indian numismatic history. Weighing 2.42 grams, this silver unit exemplifies the sophisticated coinage system of one of India’s greatest empires under the Mauryas.

The obverse features distinctive punch marks displaying a six-arched symbol, a three-arched hill formation, a pulley motif, and the standing figure of Mahakal facing left—iconography deeply rooted in regional religious and administrative significance. The reverse bears a pulley counter-strike, typical of the period’s production methodology. In fine condition with visible signs of historical use, this coin bears authentic patina that speaks to its antiquity.

Punch-marked coins are among the earliest standardized currency in India, representing a crucial evolutionary step in monetary systems. Collectors prize these artifacts for their historical importance, artistic merit, and rarity. The Ujjaini mint’s output was limited, making authenticated specimens highly sought after. This piece offers both numismatic and archaeological value, making it an outstanding addition to any serious collection of ancient Indian coinage.
