| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a stylized figure of the Varaha (boar) avatar of Vishnu rendered in a schematic, abstract manner characteristic of Pratihara coinage. The deity is depicted rampant, facing left, with raised forearms, the body reduced to bold geometric forms. The surrounding field is decorated with a border of pellets or globules arranged along the periphery of the irregular flan. Subsidiary devices, possibly attendant figures or symbolic motifs, appear to the left and right of the central image, executed in the abbreviated artistic style typical of 9th–10th century north Indian silver coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a bold Early Nagari legend arranged across the central field in two lines, reading 'srimad adi varaha', a royal epithet meaning 'the glorious primeval boar', alluding to the Varaha avatar adopted as the dynastic emblem of the Pratihara rulers. The legend is struck in large, deeply incised characters typical of the developing Nagari script of the 9th century. To the left of the inscription, a crescent and pellet motif is visible, a recurrent subsidiary device on Pratihara silver issues. The overall strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production, with some weakness at the margins of the irregular flan. |
