-gous to tlie ' broad arrow ' of the present day, and it does not seem that 

 more were ever represented on the ' die ' though three and seven of 

 these ' broad arrow's or ' chattras ' are more commonly represented on 

 tins symbol on the panch-marked coins, which were the prototypes of 

 the later issues of Ujain. There is yet another symbol of two semi- 

 circles, symmetrically united by their convex surfaces, but whether this 

 is but a portion, owing to want of space on the die, of the common 

 symbol of a ' chaitya * surmounted by a crescent, which is so common 

 on punch-marked coins, or a symbol complete in itself, is not easy to say. 

 These symbols stand out in fair relief, and the * die ' was evidently pro- 

 portioned to the size of the coin. The square shape of the coin is a 

 proof that its weight was intentionally fixed, as the weight would, it is 

 clear, depend on the width of the ' ribbon ' of copper, from which the 

 blanks were cut, for the coin is a die struck coin, and not cast in a 

 mould like so many of the early Buddhist coins. The reverse is blank, 

 which seems to point to its being an early issue, after the fashion of the 

 Elephant and Lion coins of Taxila.
