Punch Marked Coins, Kuru/Pauravas of Kaushambi, Silver 1½ Shana, 2.06g, Obv: two symbols,

Punch Marked Coins, Kuru/Pauravas of Kaushambi, Silver 1½ Shana, 2.06g, Obv: two symbols, AB pattern. One of the rarest series having second official symbol, which could be same or different from the main symbol, but always smaller in size, this feature is shared by only the Mallas of Kusinagar and probably also by the Shakya of Vaishali in some recorded cases: both these people being contemporary to Buddha (Mitc Anct# Vol-I). Very fine+, extremely rare. Pauravas were a line of famous Kuru dynasty of Hastinapur and settled on the north of Ganga river near Kaushambi. Panchala, Kosala and Magadh
