Opschrift voorzijde (Translation: Great King Amoghabhuti, of the Kunindas)
Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse is dominated by a large, boldly rendered Buddhist stupa or railed sacred object occupying the central field, flanked on either side by swastika symbols, consistent with the auspicious iconography of early Indian coinage. Additional Brahmi characters and symbols are arranged around the central motif, repeating the royal legend attributing authority to Amoghabhuti, king of the Kunindas. A wavy line or river motif runs along the lower portion of the field, possibly representing the sacred Yamuna or a local river associated with the kingdom's territory. The entire composition is enclosed by a Brahmi circular legend along the periphery of the irregular flan.

Aanvullende informatie

The Kuninda were a hill people occupying the upper Beas and Yamuna valleys, and their coinage — among the earliest from the northwestern Himalayan foothills — appears to have emerged under indirect Mauryan influence following the empire's administrative reach into those territories. Amoghabhuti is the only Kuninda ruler attested on coins, suggesting either a long reign or a dynastic name reused across generations. No textual source names him independently of the numismatic record.
