Æ Unit - Ujjain

The punch-marked and cast copper issues of the Ujjain region circulated across the Malwa plateau during a period when the city was one of the most commercially active nodes on the subcontinent's inland trade routes. Ujjain's position connecting the northern Gangetic networks with western coastal ports meant its coinage passed through merchant hands far beyond its issuing territory — excavated specimens have turned up at sites well outside the regional core.

At 0.65 g, this falls toward the lighter end of the Ujjain copper series, consistent with fractional units documented in hoard evidence from Madhya Pradesh.
