This dates to the time of Ashoka and his successors, circa 272-232 BC. Specifically, your coin is 571 - 572a, depending on what the fifth mark is; I think it's probably 571, but I can't see well enough to say for sure. Here are the marks for the individual types, you'll recognize the fourth mark at the bottom of your coin as it is oriented in the photo. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1102376[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=93416]@EWC3[/USER] is right that Finn's coin seems to have two symbols that don't match those in the book.
