This is a silver punched concave coin from the Ancient Taxila mint, dating to between 600 BC and 300 BC.

The Taxila silver punch-marked coins are among India's earliest currency, evolving from concave bent bars used by guilds and early kingdoms to Mauryan karshapanas stamped with official Taxila symbols. They serve as a critical link in the development of coinage and reflect the economic and cultural dynamics of ancient South Asia.

It is a great addition to any coin collection.
