When a coin was first issued, it would have the marks of the issuing authority. Money changers (shroffs) then marked coins to show they were acceptable. Sometimes a coin would be marked so many times that it obliterated the original design. This coin has been marked 16 times, twice by one shroff. From Kashi, modern-day Northern India. 500-400 BCE. (The British Museum, London).
