Obverse description Bust of the king facing right, rendered in the Indo-Scythian stylistic tradition with flowing curly hair adorned with a floral or beaded headdress. The portrait is bold and slightly rough in execution, characteristic of late Satavahana hammered coinage. A Brahmi legend encircles the effigy, naming the issuing monarch. The facial features — including a prominent nose, defined brow, and earring — are rendered with confident if schematic relief.
