Obverse description	Stylized elephant facing left with raised left foreleg and uplifted trunk, rendered in a bold, archaic die-engraving style characteristic of early Satavahana coinage. The elephant occupies the central field with its head oriented upward, emphasizing regal and auspicious symbolism. Brahmi legends are arranged around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular coin shape and die placement. The design is executed in low relief with crude but deliberate strokes typical of hammered provincial issues of this period.

Reverse description	A tree-in-railing symbol, a sacred and widely attested motif in early Indian numismatics representing the Bodhi or sacred tree enclosed within a vedika (railing), occupies the central field. The symbol is set within a circular border or connected design incorporating a local dynastic mark, lending regional identity to the issue. The composition is rendered in schematic, low-relief style consistent with hammered Satavahana bronze coinage. The reverse field is plain and unadorned beyond the principal symbol, with the flan's irregular edges truncating peripheral details.
