The earliest reference to the Audumbaras, or the Udambaras or the Odumbaras as they are also called, is from the Ganapatha of Panini who classifies them as being of the Rajanya class. They were amongst the most prominent tribes of ancient India and asserted their dominance from the Himachali foothills between Siramaur, Chamba and Yamuna.&nbsp;They have been credited to have issued coins and the first specimens attributed to them as identified by Alexander Cunningham around 1872-73, were from the 1st century BC. These coins include square or oblong copper and round silver pieces which were found at Pathankot in Gurudaspur district in northern Punjab. They are very rare and have been discovered almost exclusively in Punjab&#39;s Kangra district.
