Rajgor 771; "Kasala Silver Punchmarked Coinage" Series 1.4.15.1 (#24). In ca.525 BC Kashi, the long-time enemy of Kasala, was conquered by it, and was administered as a Kasala province until the conquest of Kasala by Magadha in ca.475 BC when both Janapadas were incorporated into the Magadha Empire. During the earlier part of this period, Kashi issued vimshatikas, and later (under Magadha) switched to a karshapana standard, closely adhering to the general layout of the Kasala coins.
