| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of the king facing right within a heavily patinated, irregularly shaped copper flan. The royal effigy, rendered in the schematic Gupta style characteristic of the Malwa regional coinage, is depicted in profile with discernible head and shoulder elements. The design shows the influence of Western Kshatrapa prototypes adapted under Chandragupta II following his conquest of the region. The field surrounding the bust is plain, and the coin's small module and irregular flan are typical of this fractional denomination. Brahmi legend reading 'Chandra' (चन्द्र) is associated with the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised altar or architectural motif occupying the lower portion of the reverse field, rendered in the linear, abbreviated manner typical of late Gupta copper coinage of the Malwa region. Above the central device, a figure or symbol is visible, consistent with the Kumar Class III iconographic tradition. The die work is bold but worn, reflecting the hammered production technique and the coin's long circulation. The Brahmi legend reading 'Vikrama' (विक्रम) appears in the field, referencing the royal epithet of Chandragupta II. The overall reverse composition adheres to the schematic regional style derived from Kshatrapa prototypes. |
