Obverse description	Central field depicts a deer standing to the right, with the goddess Lakshmi standing behind, holding a lotus flower; a srivatsa symbol and a vase appear in the field. A solar symbol is positioned above and behind the deer. The royal legend in Brahmi script encircles the design: 'Rajnah Kunindasya Amoghabhutisya maharajasya', identifying the issuer as the great king Amoghabhuti of the Kunindas. The overall composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of early northwestern Indian coinage of the period.
