Hello again, I acquired this 1/2 karshapana and was hoping if anything is known of the location of minting?
The information I have so far is:
B.C. 75 - 50
King Indramitra
Coin of the Panchalas of Ahichatra
15mm
3.98g
Copper alloy
Obv: Inside a rectangle, 3 symbols under the king's name
Rev: Deity Indra seated on a pedestal without pillars

Thanks in advance for any clues on the mint.

According to Pankaj Tandon at his CoinIndia site, the mint is presumed to be the Panchala capital Ahichatra / Ahichhatra / Ahichchhatra but the existence of a secondary series of coins with distinct fabric suggests the possibility of a second (unknown) mint.
