| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a prancing horse in profile facing right, rendered in low relief within a recessed square frame with raised borders. The horse is depicted with raised forelegs in a dynamic, rearing posture, consistent with the royal horse motif commonly associated with Shunga dynastic coinage attributed to Pushyamitra. The field surrounding the horse device shows tooling marks and surface patination characteristic of hammered bronze production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pushyamitra Shunga founded his dynasty by assassinating the last Mauryan emperor, Brihadratha, during a military parade — an act witnessed by the assembled army, which acquiesced. The coinage that followed was deliberately stripped of the sophisticated punch-marked conventions that had defined Mauryan monetary practice, a break that was as political as it was administrative.
The fractional denomination reflects continued use of the karshapana weight standard even as the issuing authority changed hands violently.
