| Obverse description | A deer stands to the right in the central field, with a square-shaped vase positioned above its back and an early Srivatsa symbol placed between its horns. An Indradhvaja standard is depicted between the deer and the goddess Lakshmi, who stands in the right field facing forward, her right hand upraised holding a lotus flower. A circular Brahmi legend surrounds the entire design, framing the composition. |

| Reverse description | A centrally placed six-arched hill (chaitya) surmounted by a parasol dominates the design, with a wavy river line below representing a sacred stream and a Nandipada (Triratna) symbol above the chaitya. In the left field, a swastika appears above a split Indradhvaja standard, while the right field bears a tree within a railing enclosure, a common auspicious symbol in early Indian coinage. A Kharoshthi legend encircles the entire reverse field. |
