| Obverse description | A stag standing to the right occupies the central field, its elaborate antlers surmounted by a Buddhist symbol (Nandipada or triratna), rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of early Indian coinage. To the right of the stag rises a flowering tree or sacred plant, depicted with leafy branches and dotted fruit or blossoms. A small railed stupa or shrine appears in the lower left field. The entire central device is surrounded by a circular Brahmi legend running along the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a centrally placed goddess, identified as Lakshmi or a yakshi figure, seated or standing upon a stepped platform or throne in a frontal posture. To the left of the central figure stands a prominent swastika symbol, an auspicious emblem common to Kuninda coinage. Three pellets or dots appear above the central device, and a wavy line representing a river (likely the Beas or Sutlej) runs along the lower field. The peripheral legend in Kharoshthi script encircles the design, and additional symbols fill the remaining field areas. |
