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.

Aanvullende informatie

The Panchala kingdom, centered in the upper Gangetic plain roughly between modern Bareilly and Kampilya, issued punch-marked and cast copper in a period when dynastic identity was asserted almost entirely through coinage rather than monumental inscription. Indramitra is attested only through his coins — no epigraphic record survives. The fractional karshapana denominations were the workhorse of local market exchange, and copper issues from minor Panchala rulers are notoriously difficult to attribute with precision, making the ACR classification one of the few anchors available to the specialist.
