The mohar (sign: GM; code: GAM) is the official currency of Gandhara. It is nominally subdivided into 100 poisha, although there are currently no poisha-denominated coins in circulation. The currency is managed by the National Bank of Gandhara, the nation's central bank.
Etymology
The Gandhari word mohar derived from the Persian word muhr, which means "seal" or "signet ring". The word is also cognate with the Sanskrit word mudrā, which in turn comes from mudraṇam, which also means "seal".
