| Aversbeschreibung | Central field depicts a stag standing to the right with an elaborate branching tine crown, surmounted by a Buddhist triratna symbol between the antlers. To the right of the stag stands a female deity — likely Lakshmi — shown frontally, holding a long-stemmed lotus flower in her raised right hand, with a small vessel or vase at her feet. A swastika symbol appears to the left of the stag in the middle field. The entire central design is encircled by a continuous Brahmi legend reading 'Rajnah Kunindasya Amoghabhutisya maharajasya', executed in bold, well-spaced characters along the border. |

The Kuninda Kingdom occupied the upper Beas and Sutlej valleys in what is now Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and Amoghabhuti is the only Kuninda ruler known by name — gleaned entirely from coin legends rather than any surviving textual source. His drachms represent the sole numismatic evidence for an otherwise historically silent dynasty, one that somehow maintained enough political coherence to issue a standardized silver coinage while sandwiched between the expanding post-Mauryan powers and the encroaching Indo-Greek kingdoms to the northwest.
