The silver punch-marked coins attributed to Kalinga belong to the early regional coinage of ancient India. The ABCC type bears four principal punches, with one symbol repeated twice, reflecting a system of marking silver currency before royal portraits and written legends became common. Kalinga is best remembered for its fierce resistance to Emperor Ashoka during the Kalinga War, around 261 BC. The suffering caused by this conquest deeply affected Ashoka and shaped his policy of dhamma.
