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.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 12:00 pm 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. http://coinindia.com/galleries-panc...kingdom.html Report this Post to the Staff
