Punch Marked Coins, Panchala Janapada, Silver 1½ Shana, 1.96g, single symbol type. Geometrical mark. The present coin represents the earliest phase of this janapada and is clearly comparable with the contemporary coinage of Malla Janapada (Rjgr S# 72). The later phase coinage of Panchala is slightly lower in weight and significantly smaller in size. (Rjgr S# 73, Type 1160). Very fine, rare. Panchala was a very ancient janapada, finding multiple references in Mahabharata. Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas was the princess of Panchala and hence, also known as 'Panchali'. The janapada also finds men
