| 表面の説明 | Uniface punchmarked field bearing a primary symbol consisting of four crescents arranged symmetrically around a large central pellet, accompanied by a faint ancillary punch mark in the adjacent field. Two banker's marks are also present: a solar symbol and a horse, applied as secondary countermarks. The surface is irregular and slightly concave (scyphate), consistent with early Janapada punch-marked coinage technique. |

| 裏面の説明 | Blank and uninscribed, as is characteristic of uniface punch-marked coinage of the Janapada period. The reverse surface is plain silver, showing the rough, irregular texture resulting from the hammering process used to produce the planchet. |

The Shakya republic — the same polity into which Siddhartha Gautama was born, probably within this very coin's period of issue — was one of the oligarchic gana-sanghas of the eastern Gangetic plain, governed by a council of kshatriya clans rather than a single monarch. Punch-marked coinage of this type was not minted in any centralized sense; blanks were weighed, cut, and authenticated by individual merchants or local authorities, each punch mark functioning as a guarantor's stamp rather than a sovereign declaration.
Attribution to specific Janapada states remains contested among specialists, with identifications often resting on regional findspot data rather than inscriptional evidence.
