| Obverse description | Multisymbol field featuring an elephant standing left, rendered in low relief in the characteristic punch-marked tradition of early Indian coinage. Above the elephant appears an inverted taurine symbol, while below is an Indradhvaja (Indra's standard) symbol. Additional subsidiary punch marks occupy the field, consistent with the anonymous civic issues of Kausambi. The design is executed on a roughly square flan with characteristic hammered surfaces. |
