Silver Tapping of Karshapana during the Peacock Dynasty
Karshapana is a silver currency in ancient India, which first appeared around the 6th century BC. They are usually issued by merchants and bankers, not by the state. These coins usually have one to five or six symbols, initially only stamped on the front of the coin. During the Peacock Dynasty (approximately 322-185 BC), the Kalshapana coin was widely used. The weight of these coins is usually around 3.4 grams. Coins usually have symbols such as the sun on them. These silver struck coins ceased to be minted in the 2nd century BC and continued to have a wide-ranging impact on trade and economy for the next five centuries.
