| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a stylized humped bull (Nandi) depicted in frontal view, rendered in high relief in the characteristically abstract hammered style of the Samatata kingdom. The animal's body is flanked by radiating linear striations suggesting a decorative or symbolic background. Scattered pellets appear in the field around the figure. The border is composed of a continuous series of pellets or pellet-and-arc motifs encircling the design, typical of late seventh-century Bengali gold coinage. Brahmi legend elements appear partially in the field, consistent with the royal inscription associated with the issuing ruler. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a standing human figure, likely a royal or divine effigy, shown in a striding or three-quarter pose rendered in the bold, schematic hammered style characteristic of Samatata gold staters. The figure is presented in high relief with stylized limbs and drapery suggested by simple linear forms. The surrounding field is filled with floral or foliate motifs and pellet clusters, lending a dense decorative quality to the composition. The border repeats the pellet-and-arc ornamental band seen on the obverse, framing the design within the irregular flan. The overall artistic treatment reflects the local Bengali workshop tradition of the late seventh century CE. |
