| Beschrijving voorzijde | Lion seated to right within the field, a rearing cobra positioned to the right of the animal, a royal parasol depicted above, and a stylized river symbol rendered in the lower field. Traces of a Brahmi legend are visible in the upper field above the principal device. The engraving is characteristic of the punch-marked and die-struck hybrid tradition of the Paurava coinage of the Punjab region, executed in a bold but somewhat schematic style typical of the late pre-Christian era in northwestern India. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mahindramitra is among the more obscure dynasts of the post-Mauryan Punjab, known almost entirely through his coinage rather than any textual record. The Paurava designation links him to a regional lineage claiming descent from the ancient Puru confederation — the same line that famously clashed with Alexander at the Hydaspes in 326 BC — though by the first century BC these claims were as much political as genealogical.
Pieper 1386 is sparsely represented in major collections, and attribution to a specific mint remains unresolved.
