| 正面描述 | Highly stylized and schematically rendered standing archer figure occupying the central field, depicted in frontal stance with arms raised and bow drawn, executed in the characteristic abstract late Gupta-derived style of the Samatata coinage. The figure wears a layered or banded garment visible at the waist, with limbs rendered as bold relief lines. Brahmi legend reading 'Sri Dasa' appears in the field, distributed around the central motif. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edge, typical of hammered gold coinage of early medieval Bengal. The overall design reflects a strong regional debasement of Gupta iconographic conventions. |

| 背面描述 | Highly abstracted frontal deity figure, identified as a goddess, rendered in the schematic style characteristic of Samatata gold coinage of the 7th century. The figure displays a broad, mask-like face with prominent eyes, flanked by radiating lines or hair streams extending to the left, suggestive of a nimbus or elaborate headdress. The body is reduced to simplified geometric forms with multiple arm-like projections visible at the sides, consistent with a multi-armed iconographic tradition. The surrounding field is heavily textured and granular, with the irregularly scalloped rim of the hammered flan framing the design. No clearly legible inscription is present on this side. |

Samatata occupied the eastern Bengal delta — roughly modern Bangladesh and coastal West Bengal — and functioned as a semi-autonomous polity during the decline of Gupta imperial authority. These gold staters were not struck by a centralized royal mint in any conventional sense; they emerged from a regional tradition that adapted and progressively abstracted Gupta coinage types until the original figural sources became almost unrecognizable. The "Sri Dasa" attribution itself reflects a fragmentary epigraphic reading rather than a fully documented ruler, and the issuing authority behind this series remains contested among South Asian numismatists.
The Fearon reference Fr#112Avar. places this squarely among the rarer die varieties of the type.
