| Obverse description | Central effigy of Shiva depicted facing, clad in a leopard skin and wearing a turban, holding a trident upright before him. The figure is rendered in a robust, archaic style typical of early Indian coinage. A Brahmi legend surrounds the central device in the field, reading 'Bhagavantah Chitresvara', identifying the deity by divine epithet. The overall design reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of the Kuninda Kingdom. |

| Reverse description | A horse depicted in profile facing left, rendered in a bold, primitive style consistent with early hammered coinage of the Indian subcontinent. The animal is shown in a walking or standing pose, occupying the central field of the flan. A Brahmi legend is arranged around the device in the surrounding field. The reverse design follows a common type employed by the Kuninda rulers to assert dynastic and religious authority. |
