| 正面描述 | The fire deity Agni depicted standing facing, his figure rendered in low relief in the characteristic early Indian provincial style, posed upon a decorative railing or vedika. A tall architectural pillar or stambha flanks the deity on each side, framing the central figure symmetrically. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of cast coinage of the Panchala Kingdom, with the design occupying the majority of the available field. The surfaces display the characteristic broad, slightly convex fabric of northern Indian copper coinage of this period. |

| 背面描述 | A Brahmi inscription is presented within a rectangular incuse punch, centering the legend in the field. The characters are rendered in the early Brahmi script consistent with northern Indian coinage of the first to second century CE, reading the royal name Agnimitra. The incuse border frames the legend clearly, a technique commonly employed on Panchala dynastic issues to distinguish the royal titulature from the obverse iconographic design. The surrounding field is plain and shows the typical rough, unworked surface of the cast flan. |

Agnimitra was the second ruler of the Shunga dynasty, better known from Kalidasa's Sanskrit play Malavikagnimitra than from his coins. The Panchalas, operating from their base around Ahichhatra in what is now northern Uttar Pradesh, issued punch-marked and cast bronzes across a span of rulers whose exact sequence remains contested among scholars — Mitchiner's attribution to Agnimitra specifically rests on monogram analysis that not all specialists accept.
The Shunga-Panchala interface of this period is genuinely murky, with regional authority fragmenting rapidly after Pushyamitra's death around 148 BCE.
