| Obverse description | Central dharma wheel (dharmachakra) enclosed within a single beaded or linear circle. Surrounding the circle, eight Vartula (Ranjana) characters are arranged within the petals of a stylized eight-petalled lotus, one character per petal. The overall design is rendered in the Nepali-influenced Ranjana script tradition, with the lotus motif framing the entire composition against a plain field. |
