Obverse description Stylized crowned effigy of the king in profile, rendered in a highly schematic manner characteristic of post-Gupta regional coinage. The crown is depicted with dotted ornamentation across the upper register of the flan, while a bold curved line delineates the facial profile and neck of the royal bust. A cluster of pellets arranged in a diagonal grid occupies the left field, likely representing decorative drapery or a necklace ornament. The die work is typical of the small hammered silver damma series of Sindh, showing the influence of late Gupta artistic conventions adapted to a local idiom.
