Off the top of my head, the symbols are Buddhist: chaitya (stupa or &quot;hill&quot;), river, tree-in-railing (Bodhi tree?, see below), swastika, deer, etc. Ashtamangala is a new term for me but the symbols on the coin seem to differ from the specific list of eight Ashtamangala I found online. I suspect they are intended as more general auspicious symbols. I will also add that I&#039;m not sure why 6 arches. A three-arched version is common on early punch-marked coins and on drachms of the Western Satraps. The &quot;parasol&quot; seems to be a common architectural feature of stupas (see diagram).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1545252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1545253[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
