These are crudely cast copper coins resembling those of Kushanas. They are so named by Doctor Hoernle owing to the fact that a large hoard of them was found in Puri district in 1895. In Odisha- they have been found in large number Mayurbhanj, Balasore and Ganjam districts. The largest heard ever discovered in India was collected from the Malkhana of Bhadrak weighing 78kg. No trace of a mint has so far been discovered, in large number but there can be hardly any doubt that there must have been mints for coinage.
