| Obverse description | Highly stylised frontal effigy of the goddess Ardoxsho enthroned, depicted in the degenerate post-Hunnic artistic tradition characteristic of Kashmiri coinage of this period. The figure is shown facing, with arms extended and hands resting on the knees in a formal hieratic pose. Flanking the central effigy are Nagari legends arranged in two fields: 'Jaya' to the left and 'Simha' to the right, together forming the royal name Jayasimha. The design is executed in bold, schematic relief with deeply incised outlines typical of hammered copper issues of the Second Lohara Dynasty. |
