| Reverse description | Forepart of an elephant facing left in profile, depicted in a vigorous, stylised manner with a prominent eye rendered as a pellet; before the elephant, a railed tree (symbol of the sacred Bodhi or pipal) is shown in schematic form with a distinctive railing or vedika at its base. The design occupies most of the flan, with the bold, somewhat naive artistic style consistent with the anonymous Audumbara coinage of the Western Himalayan region. |
