| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kuninda Kingdom occupied the Himalayan foothills and upper river valleys of what is now Himachal Pradesh and northwestern Uttarakhand, and Amoghabhuti is the only Kuninda ruler whose name appears on coinage — making him the sole historically attested monarch of the dynasty. Whether this reflects a long reign, a dominant political moment, or simply the survival pattern of the numismatic record is still debated. The drachm module itself shows clear familiarity with Indo-Greek weight standards, likely the result of sustained contact with Bactrian Greek kingdoms pressing in from the northwest.
