Reverse description Central field features a highly stylized anthropomorphic figure, likely a standing or seated deity, rendered in the schematic linear style characteristic of late Utpala Dynasty coinage. Surrounding the central figure are scattered Nagari aksharas and symbolic devices including pellets and linear strokes distributed across the field. The overall composition reflects the artistic degeneration common to post-Hunnic Kashmiri copper coinage of the 10th century. The flan edges are irregular, with moderate flan cracks consistent with hammered production.
