Context
Gupta/Hardaker Series Va XIII A 21, type 507, a common coin type. Because the 1st and 5th marks are unclear and could be other variants, it's possible but less likely that this is coin type 507a or 508, both rare coins. This series was issued after the ascendance of Chandragupta Maurya in the period spanning 321-298 BCE.
