TuckHard Posted May 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 17, 2023 This coin is commonly called a stater of Kashmir, but I was recently informed that the denomination is truly a "panchi". Similarly, there are contemporary stater coins of the Chola Dynasty which I think are more accurately called a "kahavanu". I'm not sure what the conclusion or connection is, but there's something interesting there.
