Part of the AHATA project documenting and classifying Indian punchmark coinage. This well-produced volume deals with coinage of the Ganges valley.The coins are of the Ayodhya Hoard-type and Narhan Hoard-type, mostly the latter. The author speculates that the Narhan coins circulated from BC 600-450 when Magadha was a local power. He develops a chronological series, establishes the order of punches, and has produced a beautiful catalogue with photographs of the coins and drawings of the different types with all the symbols, ex James Farr Collection Library.
