Description
The Bronze Karshapana from the Mauryan Empire (322–184 BC) offers a tangible connection to one of the most influential dynasties in ancient Indian history. Each coin is an authentic artifact from the era of Chandragupta Maurya, Bindusara, and the legendary emperor Ashoka the Great, whose reign marked the height of Mauryan power and the spread of Buddhism across Asia.
Paired with a full‑color historical story card, this collectible provides both an impressive display piece and an educational window into the political, cultural, and economic achievements of early India. The card highlights the empire’s administrative innovations, its vast territorial expansion, and Ashoka’s transformation from conqueror to advocate of peace and dharma.
Struck more than 2,200 years ago, each bronze Karshapana features the distinctive punch‑mark symbols characteristic of early Indian coinage—unique combinations of dynastic emblems, religious motifs, and administrative marks. No two coins are exactly alike, making each piece a one‑of‑a‑kind artifact of ancient commerce.
