| 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. |
