Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a large Buddhist or Shaivite stupa rendered in schematic form at center, flanked by two prominent swastika symbols occupying the left and right fields. A dotted annulet and additional Brahmi characters are visible above the stupa. The surrounding field is filled with a continuous Brahmi circular legend repeating the royal titulature of Amoghabhuti. A wavy line below the stupa likely represents water or the sacred river, and the overall arrangement reflects the deeply religious iconographic programme of Kuninda coinage.
