| Obverse description | Central field bearing a raised symbol in relief, possibly representing a deity or auspicious motif rendered in the schematic artistic convention typical of early Panchala coinage. The design occupies the majority of the flan, with the imagery executed in a bold, somewhat crude punch-die style characteristic of ancient Indian copper coinage. The surface is uneven due to the irregular casting of the flan, with the design elements showing moderate wear consistent with circulation. No legible legend is present on this face. |
