| Reverse description | The reverse presents a Buddhist stupa rendered as a six-arched hill, flanked by an Indradhvaja (Indra's standard or banner), a swastika, and a nandipada symbol. A railed sacred tree occupies a prominent position in the field, while a river is depicted in the lower register, reflecting the sacred landscape of early Indian coinage. This early-style type carries no additional subsidiary symbols, distinguishing it from later issues of the same series. A Brahmi legend encircles the design, repeating the full royal titulature 'Rajnah Kunindasya Amoghabhutisya maharajasya'. The overall composition is consistent with early Kuninda coinage conventions, combining Buddhist and Brahmanical religious motifs within a single design. |
