| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Kumaragupta I facing right, depicted in the Western Kshatrapa tradition with a highly stylized rendering of the royal effigy. The king wears an elaborate headdress with flowing, scrolled ornamental elements extending to the left, rendered in a cursive, almost abstract manner characteristic of late Gupta silver coinage. A beaded necklace or collar is visible at the base of the bust. The portrait retains strong Shaka satrap iconographic influence, with a pronounced profile and schematized facial features. The flat, unadorned field surrounds the central device with no visible legend on this face. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A peacock displayed frontally at the centre of the field, rendered in a highly stylized form with its tail feathers spread in a large fan occupying nearly the entire flan. The peacock, dynastic emblem of Kumaragupta I, stands facing forward with neck curved gracefully upward. The tail fan is depicted as a radiating pattern of feathers interspersed with globular eye-spots, surrounded by an outer border of square and round pellets arranged in alternating sequence. A Brahmi legend, partially legible, is distributed around the periphery of the reverse field. The overall design is vigorous and deeply struck, displaying the confident artistic style of Gupta imperial silver coinage. |
