| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a seated deity or royal figure in frontal or three-quarter pose, rendered in low relief in the characteristic punch-marked style of the Panchala series. The figure is depicted in a stylized, hieratic manner typical of early Indian copper coinage, with limbs suggested by incised lines. Surrounding the central motif are additional punch-marked symbols within an irregular circular flan. The overall design reflects the provincial artistic conventions of the Panchala Kingdom during the early centuries of the Common Era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Panchala kingdom, centered in the upper Gangetic plain roughly between the Ganges and the hills of what is now western Uttar Pradesh, issued a long sequence of copper punch-marked and cast coinages across several dynasties. Indramitra's placement within the Panchala sequence is reconstructed almost entirely through hoard stratigraphy and die-linkage studies — no inscription or epigraphic source confirms his reign dates independently. Gupta's corpus remains the primary reference for attributing these issues, and the numbering reflects a classification built on typological rather than documentary evidence.
