| Beschrijving voorzijde | A three-arched chaitya (stupa) surmounted by a crescent occupies the central field, flanked by a hollow cross (svastika variant) to one side and a taurine symbol to the other. A tree-in-railing motif appears in the field, rendered in the schematic punch-marked style characteristic of late Shunga copper coinage. The design elements are arranged in a compact, irregular square flan typical of cast or die-struck issues of this period. The overall execution is bold but somewhat crude, reflecting provincial mint production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays an elephant in profile as the dominant symbol, conveying royal and auspicious connotations in the Shunga iconographic tradition. A swastika, a taurine symbol, and an Indradhvaja (standard of Indra) are distributed across the field in a characteristic arrangement of punch-marked symbols. The elephant is rendered in a stylised manner consistent with Shunga-period copper issues, with minimal fine detail. The irregular flan edges are typical of this denomination and series. No inscriptions or legends are present on the reverse. |
