| Obverse description | Draped bust of king Rudrasimha II facing right, rendered in the debased Greco-Roman style characteristic of the Western Satraps series. The ruler wears a diadem with flowing hair depicted in wavy locks. A regnal date in Brahmi numerals appears in the field behind the head. The portrait shows a slightly bearded profile with a prominent nose, typical of late Satrap coinage. |

| Reverse description | A chaitya (three-arched hill symbol) occupies the central field, with a wavy river or water symbol below representing sacred waters. A crescent moon and sun symbol appear above the chaitya, forming the standard Western Satrap reverse iconography. A Brahmi legend encircles the central design, recording the ruler's name and titles. The overall composition follows the canonical reverse type established for Western Satrap silver drachms. |
