| Reverse description | The reverse displays a Brahmi inscription across the upper field, reading the name or title of the issuing ruler Bhumimitra, rendered in the early Brahmi script characteristic of the Panchala region during the first century CE. Below the legend, a seated or standing figure — possibly a royal or divine effigy — is depicted in a schematic style typical of northern Indian dynastic copper coinage of this period. Additional symbolic devices occupy the lower field, their details partially obscured by wear and the rough, irregular surface of the cast flan. The overall execution reflects the artistic conventions of Panchala workshop production. |
