| Obverse description | Bust of the king facing right in profile, wearing an elaborate headdress adorned with a prominent cluster of globular beads or pearls, rendered in the schematic Indo-Scythian tradition. The effigy shows a beaded necklace at the truncation and stylized facial features characteristic of late Satavahana portraiture. A Brahmi legend encircles the bust, reading the royal titulature of Vasishthiputra Shiva Sri Pulumavi. Two small pellets appear in the lower field below the bust truncation. |
