| Beschrijving voorzijde | Deviant die type distinguishable from related issues by the absence of curved lines in the design elements. The field displays a schematic, linear composition rendered in a flat, provincial hammered style characteristic of the Kota Kula principality. The flan is irregular with uneven edges typical of hand-struck copper coinage of the period. No legend or inscription is present. The overall execution reflects a local workshop tradition diverging from the standard iconographic conventions of the series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kota Kula was a minor Indo-Greek successor state operating in the northwestern Indian subcontinent during a period when Kushan dynastic pressure was progressively absorbing smaller principalities. Copper tetradrachms of this type circulated as low-denomination trade coinage in markets where silver had largely retreated from everyday exchange.
The ACR reference places this among a loosely catalogued group of issues whose attribution to specific rulers remains contested — die linkage studies have done more to establish the sequence of these coinages than any surviving written record.
