| Obverse description | Crude hammered copper flan bearing the Nagari legend Sri Samanta Deva arranged across the field in bold, deeply struck characters. The inscription dominates the obverse in a compact, somewhat stylized rendering typical of the Shahi coinage of the Ohind mint. The lettering is set within an irregular, roughly circular flan with no border or decorative framing elements. The overall execution reflects the characteristic informal die-cutting tradition of the late Kabul Shahi period. The field surface shows natural metal flow and die-spread consistent with hand-hammered production. |
