| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude, schematic effigy of a king standing in frontal posture, rendered in low relief in the characteristically rough provincial Kushana style. The figure displays simplified bodily forms with a large globular head and rudimentary limb articulation. The field is plain and unlettered, consistent with the Puri Kushana cast copper series. The overall execution reflects a debased local imitation tradition rather than the refined die-struck coinage of the main Kushana imperial series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kushana coinage of Odisha — sometimes catalogued under the "Puri Kushana" designation — represents a regional adaptation rather than central imperial production, likely issued by a subordinate ruler or local authority operating within the broader Kushan sphere during the second century. The relationship between these issues and the main Kushan mint output at Mathura remains debated among specialists, with attribution continuing to shift as hoards from eastern India are documented.
Mitchiner's reference AC#4704 places this half karshapana within a series that drew on older Indian weight standards rather than the Kushan drachm system dominant further northwest.
