Beschrijving voorzijde Standing figure of the god Indra depicted in frontal or three-quarter stance upon a square architectural pedestal or throne, rendered in the punch-marked style characteristic of early Panchala coinage. The deity's posture and attributes are rendered in a schematic, archaic manner typical of northern Indian copper coinage of the early Common Era. The pedestal base features a decorative register with circular and dot motifs visible beneath the main figure. The overall composition is centered within the flan, with the design occupying the majority of the available field.

Aanvullende informatie

The Panchala kingdom, centered in the upper Gangetic plain roughly between modern Bareilly and Kampilya, issued punch-marked and cast copper in a period when dynastic identity was asserted almost entirely through coinage rather than monumental inscription. Indramitra is attested only through his coins — no epigraphic record survives. The fractional karshapana denominations were the workhorse of local market exchange, and copper issues from minor Panchala rulers are notoriously difficult to attribute with precision, making the ACR classification one of the few anchors available to the specialist.
