Comment
These coins believed to be circulated before Mauryans adopted copper coinage. The coins such as these were kept very tiny to provide fractional coinage to the lowest possible value.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ratti (Vimsatika) coin from the Mauryan Empire is that it was used as a standardized form of currency across the empire, promoting trade and commerce.
