    Gandhara is mentioned in many ancient literature. The center flourished when Buddhism was at its peak. Buddhist texts like Anguttara Nikaya refer to sixteen great countries (Mahajanapadas) which flourished in the Indian sub-continent during Buddha's time; only two of them, the Gandhara and the Kamboja were located in the Uttarapatha or the north-western division.
    This theory concerning the first coins in India is quite widespread. The fascinating large bar coins were probably one of the earliest coins struck issued by Gandhara Janapada.
