| Reverse description | Central device comprising a three-arched hill symbol (trikuta), a prominent auspicious emblem of the Ujjain coinage tradition, with a svastika motif placed within each of the three orbs or roundels surmounting the arches. The symbol is rendered in low relief on an otherwise plain field, typical of the punch-marked and early cast coinage of the Malwa region. The composition is bold and schematic, reflecting the symbolic rather than naturalistic artistic conventions of local Indian coinage of this period. |
