| Reverse description | Stylized figure of Garuda, the divine eagle, depicted standing facing with wings spread in heraldic posture, rendered in a highly schematic manner derived from Western Kshatrapa prototypes. A solar symbol or sun disc appears above the figure in the upper field. A Brahmi legend encircles the design, recording the royal titulature of Chandragupta II. The reverse composition reflects the Gupta adaptation of earlier Shaka silver coinage traditions, retaining the Garuda emblem as a dynastic and Vaishnava symbol. |
