Obverse description	Degraded stylized bull (Nandi) depicted in profile facing left, occupying the central field, rendered in the schematic Indo-Hunnic tradition with pronounced raised outlines. Above the bull, two circular pellets flank a central boss, possibly representing celestial symbols. Devanagari inscription partially visible to the left and right of the bull, reading the first syllable of the royal name. The field is surrounded by a border of short radial strokes forming a rope or denticulate rim. The overall design reflects the highly conventionalized late post-Hunnic Kashmiri coinage style.
Obverse script	Devanagari

Reverse description	Central field dominated by a stylized radiating symbol, possibly a degraded representation of Lakshmi or a solar device, rendered as a large pellet surrounded by multiple radiating strokes. Devanagari legends are distributed across the field in the characteristic fragmentary manner of late Kashmiri copper coinage, recording the remaining syllables of the ruler's name. Dotted border elements and additional subsidiary symbols appear in the upper field. The border consists of short radial strokes similar to the obverse, and the flan is irregular with typical hammered fabric showing surface porosity consistent with the bronze alloy used.
