See JNSI, Vol. XVI, pp. 41, 46-47. For śatamāna as a gold coin, see ibid., Vol. XV, p. 140.

Śatamāna.—the weight of 320 ratis; literally, ‘a hundred units of measurement’, the unit probably being the mañjāḍi (q. v.); also called pala and niṣka (320 ratis of gold or silver); during the medieval period, sometimes regarded as 160 ratis; name sometimes applied to an ancient gold coin. Note: śatamāna is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
