Beschrijving voorzijde A deer stands to right in the central field, with a vase depicted above its back and the solar symbol (sun) positioned behind. The goddess Lakshmi appears in the lower field, rendered in the stylised early Indian artistic tradition. A continuous Brahmi legend encircles the design reading 'Rajnah Kunindasya Amoghabhutisya maharajasya', identifying the issuing monarch. The overall composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of the Kuninda coinage, combining Brahmanical and proto-Buddhist elements.

Aanvullende informatie

The Kuninda Kingdom occupied the upper Beas and Sutlej valleys and maintained a surprisingly sophisticated coinage tradition for a hill polity of its scale. Amoghabhuti is the only Kuninda ruler known by name from numismatic evidence alone — no inscription or literary source independently confirms him. His silver drachms are among the earliest indigenous coinage of the northwestern Himalayan foothills, issued at a moment when Indo-Greek political pressure from the Bactrian kingdoms was reshaping monetary habits across the entire Punjab region.
