| Obverse description | The obverse depicts two standing figures facing one another in a hieratic composition characteristic of Shahi dynastic coinage. The figure to the left appears to be a royal or divine personage rendered in a frontal or three-quarter stance, with stylized drapery and ornamental detail. The figure to the right mirrors this arrangement, the two separated by a central element suggestive of an altar or standard. Brahmi legend reading Sri Bhimadeva is present in the field, affirming the royal title and name of the issuing ruler. The overall style reflects the late Shahi artistic tradition, combining Indian iconographic conventions with the influence of earlier Kushano-Sasanian coinage. |
