| Obverse description | Elephant standing to right with trunk raised, rendered in the archaic punch-marked style characteristic of early Satavahana coinage. A Brahmi legend reading 'Siri Satakarnisa' appears above the elephant in the field, identifying the issuing ruler. The flan is irregular, typical of hand-struck issues of this period. The surface shows the bold, low-relief execution common to early Deccan coinage. |
