| Obverse description | Zebu (humped bull) depicted in profile facing right, occupying the upper central field of the irregular square flan. Below or adjacent to the bull appears a tree-in-railing symbol, a standard Punch-marked coinage motif representing sacred enclosures. A river or water symbol is present in the field, alongside a Brahmi inscription identifying the issuing city of Bhagila. The devices are rendered in a provincial, somewhat schematic style consistent with late-period janapada coinage of the Indian subcontinent. |

| Reverse description | Reverse is entirely blank, confirming the uniface nature of this issue. The surface exhibits the rough, unworked texture typical of cast or struck provincial bronze coinage of the period, with no intentional design, legend, or decorative element applied. The flan shows natural casting irregularities and patination consistent with ancient bronze. |
