Rajnyah Vijayamitra. Ca. A.D. 220. Æ 1/2 karshapana (14 mm, 1.61 g). Conch shell placed horizontally on platform, flanked by standards; chakra (sacred wheel) above / Brahmi legend in two lines Rajnyah Vijayami(tasa); single Panchala symbol at top left. Unpublished in the standard references. Extremely rare and important. Very fine.

A new discovery! This king has just been published by Karan Singh in JONS 234 (Winter 2018). The presence of this new king - with his royal title Rajnyah and his complex iconography - indicates that Panchala coinage continued well into the Kushan era and there was no long interlude during Kushan rule in northern India.
