India had metal coins long before the Mauryan empire (322–185 BC). Around the sixth century BC, the Mahajanapadas of the Indo-Gangetic Plain produced the first Indian coins. These coins feature carvings of the sun, various animal motifs, trees, hills, and other elements of nature. Other ones contained geometrical images. In the eastern region of ancient India, in the kingdom of Magadha, where the first silver coins entered commerce, Buddhism was first practiced.
