Obverse description	Entirely uninscribed field of hammered silver, presenting a broad, slightly convex surface with no devices, symbols, or legends of any kind. The flan exhibits characteristic surface texturing consistent with primitive hammering techniques, with faint tool marks and flow lines visible across the field. The irregular square planchet displays gently rounded corners and raised edges produced during the striking process. No exergue, border, or decorative elements are present, reflecting the earliest and most rudimentary phase of coinage production in the Gandharan Janapada tradition.
