Maybe they were alwasy Sunga dynasty and no one ever bothered to list them as such. The Mauryans were one of the first large scale coin producers in India. India was one of the three major independent coin sources, and have their own distinctive style. </p><p><br /></p><p>The square flans actually influenced a large part of Central Asia until about 250 AD.
