[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 5183786, member: 93416"]Yep - See my book pages 147 onwards [URL]https://www.academia.edu/6882687/Coin_Weight_and_Historical_Metrology_2nd_revision_May_2020[/URL]_ 3.43g was determined as the quarter unit at Mohenjo Daro by Hemmy. Way before 2000 BC. As I best I recall I got 3.43 for 61 mint state period I PMC’s - also for 29 GF Spalapati Jitals (hard to find minty ones). The standard was certainly used down to South Indian pagodas of the colonial period. Actually the archaeologist Kenoyer did point this matter out once – in that book put out by Renfrew et al (Cambridge 2010) - but he apparently backed away from defending this after being scoffed at (by Harvard Prof Witzel & Co). But Hey!- if I do not get scoffed at at least once a week I think I must be getting things wrong :) Rob[/QUOTE]
