| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylised lion or mythical feline creature in profile, rendered in a bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of early medieval Bengal coinage. The animal is shown with a raised head bearing elaborate curling mane or flame-like projections, body turned to the right, with a curling tail. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a plain raised outer rim on the irregularly shaped flan. Small pellets are dispersed in the field around the creature, adding decorative detail typical of Harikela coinage. |
