SUKKUR: A pot full of copper coins was discovered from a stupa in Moenjo Daro during conservation work here on Thursday.
According to sources, labourers were excavating a collapsed wall when they came across a pot full of ancient copper coins.
Director of Conservation and Preservation Syed Shakir Shah confirmed that a number of coins carefully packed in a pot were recovered and they had been sent to a laboratory for analysis. He told The News that research would be undertaken to analyse how old these coins were besides interpreting the language and numbers inscribed on them.
Shakir Shah said labourers recovered the pot of coins during excavation but buried it again. Later some of them informed the officials of the Archives Department who then dug them out. He said some of the archaeologists were of the view that these coins were centuries old, but nothing could be said with certainty at this point in time. The exact time period and other relevant details could only be confirmed after a laboratory analysis, the Director of Conservation and Preservation said.
