| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized figure, likely a deity or auspicious symbol associated with the Naga dynastic tradition, depicted in a frontal or near-frontal stance occupying the central field. The design exhibits a schematic, almost abstract rendering characteristic of early medieval Indian copper coinage. Subsidiary elements and linear motifs surround the central device, though the details are partially obscured by the crude casting technique. The flan is irregular and the relief is shallow, typical of Naga series issues attributed to the Narwar rulers of the 3rd–4th century CE. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Naga dynasties of north-central India — centered on sites including Narwar, Padmavati, and Mathura — operated as regional powers during the gradual fragmentation following the Kushana decline, issuing their own copper coinage before being absorbed by the expanding Gupta empire in the fourth century. The specific attribution to "Ganpati Naga" places this piece among a sequence of rulers whose dynastic order and precise reigns remain contested among scholars, with numismatic evidence often doing more interpretive work than any surviving inscription.
