| Obverse description | Diademed bust of the king facing right, rendered in the characteristic Turk Shahi style with a pronounced artificially elongated skull. The effigy is shown in regal attire with a crown surmounted by a bull-head finial, and the figure wears prominent earrings and a pearl necklace. Symbolic devices flank the portrait within the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. A Brahmi legend reading 'Sri SaHi' appears in the field. |
