| Beschrijving keerzijde | Traces of an elephant standing, depicted in profile, a motif commonly associated with royal authority and auspicious symbolism in the coinage of the Mathura Mitra dynasty. The relief is heavily worn and the flan surface is irregular, rendering much of the design indistinct. The execution is consistent with the cast copper coinage tradition of the north Indian dynastic issues of the 1st century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brahmamitra was one of several local rulers in the Mathura region who issued coinage during the long decline of Mauryan central authority, a period when dozens of petty dynasties briefly controlled river towns and trade nodes across northern India. The Mitra rulers of Mathura are known almost entirely through their coins — no dynastic inscriptions, no literary sources of substance. The coins are, effectively, the dynasty's only surviving record.
Brahmi legends on these issues have allowed scholars to sequence the rulers, though the exact regnal order remains debated.
