Central device depicting a hooded cobra in profile, flanked by two railed trees rendered in a stylized archaic manner. A river motif appears below the primary devices, representing the Narmada Valley geographic context. An inverted Brahmi legend reading 'bhagilaya' (denoting the city of Bhagila) is inscribed within the field. The overall design is primitively executed in the punch-marked tradition, with devices distributed across the irregular square flan. The coin exhibits heavy patination consistent with its antiquity and copper alloy composition. |

Uniface; the reverse is entirely blank with no devices, symbols, or inscriptions struck upon the plain copper flan. The surface displays the characteristic rough texture of the hammered blank, with natural oxidation and encrustation accumulated over centuries. This uniface character is typical of early Indian copper coinage from the Narmada Valley region. |

Bhagila remains poorly attested in ancient sources, appearing only in the Mahābhārata and a handful of later Buddhist texts as a city of the Narmada Valley. Whether the issuing authority was a civic body, a local chieftain, or a guild is unresolved. Punch-marked copper fractions of this region are among the least systematically catalogued of all ancient Indian coinages, and attribution to specific urban centers often rests on findspot concentration rather than epigraphic confirmation.
