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.
