Beschrijving voorzijde	Hellenized male bust facing right, rendered in a style strongly influenced by Indo-Greek coinage conventions, with wavy hair swept back from the forehead. The effigy displays a broad, naturalistic face with prominent nose and chin, characteristic of the local adaptation of Hellenistic portraiture prevalent in the Ujjain region during the 2nd–1st century BC. A Brahmi legend identifying the issuer appears in incuse cut lettering in the field surrounding the portrait.

Aanvullende informatie	Vijayamitra was a local ruler of the Ujjain region during a period when the Mauryan imperial framework had already collapsed but Indo-Greek pressure from the northwest had not yet consolidated political authority across central India. His copper issues belong to a broad category of post-Mauryan regional coinages that filled the administrative vacuum — struck by petty kings and chieftains whose names survive almost exclusively through their coins, no inscription or literary source having preserved them otherwise.
