| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a Buddhist stupa resting upon a six-arched hill, flanked by an Indradhvaja (Indra's standard or banner-pole). Surrounding the central motif are auspicious symbols including a swastika, a nandipada (bull's hoof print), and a railed sacred tree. A stylized river is depicted along the lower portion of the field. The Brahmi legend 'Rajnah Kunindasya Amoghabhutisya maharajasya' encircles the entire design, mirroring the obverse inscription and reflecting the bilingual and multi-symbolic tradition of Kuninda coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kuninda were a hill people of the upper Yamuna and Sutlej watersheds whose coinage appears to have emerged under indirect influence from the post-Mauryan vacuum — no centralized imperial authority remained to suppress local monetary initiative. Amoghabhuti is the only Kuninda ruler attested by name on surviving coins, making him something of a ghost: known entirely through numismatic evidence, with no corroborating inscription or textual source yet confirmed.
The drachm standard itself reflects contact with Indo-Greek monetary practice filtering down from Bactria.
