| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large, prominent Buddhist stupa rendered in stylised form at the centre, depicting a multi-tiered hemispherical dome atop a stepped base, with a harmika and spire above. Flanking the stupa are various Brahmi aksharas and auspicious symbols including a swastika to the left. The field is filled with secondary symbols characteristic of Kuninda coinage. A Brahmi legend encircles the design along the periphery, repeating the royal titulary of Amoghabhuti. The die work is characteristic of hammered Himalayan coinage of the late pre-Common Era period, with an irregular flan and bold, deeply struck relief. |
