背面描述	The reverse displays an arrangement of angular geometric punch marks, including a large diagonal stroke or arrow-like symbol flanked by subsidiary marks, consistent with the punch-marked and early cast coinage traditions of the northern Indian kingdoms. The flan is irregular with a flat, slightly rough surface. The punched symbols are deeply impressed and represent dynastic or religious emblems associated with the Ahichchhatra regional coinage. No readable legend is present.

附加信息	Vijayamitra ruled Ahichchhatra — the ancient North Pancala capital in what is now Uttar Pradesh — during a period when the Kushana empire's grip on the northern subcontinent was visibly loosening. Local dynasts across the Gangetic plain seized that vacuum to assert independent coinage rights, and the Ahichchhatra series is among the better-documented of these regional revivals. The title Rajnyah places Vijayamitra within a subordinate or post-subordinate royal rank, suggesting his authority was either recently won or carefully hedged. At 1.52 g, this half unit falls within the expected range for debased late Karshapana fractions of the period, when bronze had largely displaced the older punch-marked silver tradition entirely.
