| Reverse description | The Ujjaini symbol occupies the central field of the reverse, a distinctive device consisting of a cross-shaped motif with four circles or dots at the terminals of each arm, characteristic of coinage attributed to the Avanti/Ujjain region. This emblem is among the most recognizable regional symbols of ancient Indian numismatics and served as a civic or dynastic identifier. The flan is irregularly shaped and the field shows no accompanying legend or subsidiary device. Surface patination reveals the typical green and reddish-brown toning consistent with ancient copper coinage of the period. |
