Punch Mark Coins
The Gandhara janapada, located in modern-day northwest India and Pakistan, issued punch-marked coins with a distinctive "bent-bar wheel-marked" design.

Even though Gandhara was a Persian satrapy, its coins differed radically from standard Persian coinage, implying they had a long history of local use prior to Persian rule. The bent-bar wheel design provides evidence that coinage was developed independently in India, including the Gandhara region, before later Persian and Greek influence.
