1/2 Karshapana - Indramitra

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.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Three Panchala dynastic symbols arranged horizontally in the upper register of the field, a common compositional device on Panchala copper issues. Below this row of symbols, the royal legend appears in a single bottom register inscribed in Brahmi script, recording the name of the issuing ruler. The symbols and inscription together form a two-tiered reverse design characteristic of the Panchala series, with the field otherwise plain.
