Taxila Silver Punch-Marked Coin

One interesting fact about the Taxila Silver Punch-Marked Coin from the Ujjain region (Malwa Plateau) is that it features a unique punch-marked design, which was a common feature of ancient Indian coins. The punch-marks were used to validate the authenticity of the coin and to indicate its denomination. The use of punch-marks on coins dates back to the 6th century BCE and continued until the 12th century CE. The Taxila Silver Punch-Marked Coin is a rare and valuable example of this ancient coinage system.
