| Obverse description | Central field depicts a warrior or ruler on horseback facing right, rendered in a bold, archaic punch-work style characteristic of early Indian coinage. The rider appears to carry a weapon or standard, with the horse shown in a prancing or walking pose. A decorative rectangular panel or altar motif appears beneath the horse, possibly representing a fire altar or throne. The entire design is enclosed within a border of pellets or dots. The Brahmi legend is distributed around the central motif in the field. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large Ujjain or chakra symbol — a prominent circular wheel or solar disc motif with radiating spokes and concentric ring detailing, a hallmark device of western Indian tribal coinage of this period. Smaller dot-in-circle symbols or floral ornaments appear in the surrounding field. The design is enclosed within a dotted border following the irregular flan. The Kharoshthi legend is arranged around the central symbol in the field. The overall style reflects the punch-marked and die-struck hybrid tradition of early Indo-Greek influenced regional coinage. |
