This study is part of the AHATA project which aims at creating a comprehensive catalogue of ancient Indian punch marked coinage. The information in this book will be part of the CD-ROM database which will be constructed covering all these coins. The AHATA symbol numbering system is applied for the main, auxiliary symbols and the bankers marks. Future new types can be catalogued without disturbing the present categorisation.
