A Brahmi legend encircles the design, beginning at the lower right and terminating at the lower left, reading 'Athakanagara Savatthi', identifying the issuing city. The punch is applied to the flat, irregular copper flan with the inscription arcing around the base of the tree motif in the characteristic early Indian punch-marked tradition.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Savatthi — the Pali rendering of Shravasti — was one of the six great cities of ancient India and served as the capital of the Kosala kingdom. Punch-marked and cast copper issues attributed to municipal or guild authorities from this region are notoriously difficult to assign with precision; attribution to Savatthi specifically relies heavily on findspot evidence rather than explicit mint identification. The Kosala kingdom itself was absorbed by Magadha no later than the early 4th century BC, making civic issues from Savatthi terminus ante quem candidates for that date at the latest.
