EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases both sides of a Silver half karshapana, an ancient Indian coin from the 3rd century BC. The coin originates from Avanti, located in Madhya Pradesh, India. Measuring at just 0.86 x 0.92 cm, this tiny artifact holds immense historical significance. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this silver coin are truly remarkable. On one side, we see delicate punchwork depicting various symbols that represent the rich culture and heritage of Avanti. The other side features equally detailed engravings that highlight the monetary value of this ancient currency. Preserved at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK, this rare piece offers a glimpse into India's past economic system and trade practices during that era. It serves as a tangible link to our ancestors' daily lives and their understanding of commerce. As we admire this precious relic through Bridgeman Images' lens, it is important to acknowledge its out-of-copyright status and appreciate it solely for its historical value rather than any commercial use or association with a specific company. Let us marvel at the beauty and significance encapsulated within this small but mighty representation of wealth and exchange in ancient India.
