| Aversbeschreibung | Chitresvara Shiva depicted in three-headed (trishira) form, seated frontally with legs apart, his right hand raised holding a trident (trishula) and his left hand resting upon his knee; his feet rest upon the back of a prostrate Apasmara-purusha (the demon of ignorance) shown kneeling below. A standing attendant figure is rendered to the right of the deity. The composition is executed in the bold, summary style characteristic of Yaudheya copper coinage, with the design occupying the full flan. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Yaudheyas were a kshatriya republic of the Punjab whose coins consistently invoke Skanda-Karttikeya and Shiva as martial patrons — a deliberate theological positioning for a people whose identity was built almost entirely around military resistance. The Chitresvara epithet refers to a specific local form of Shiva worshipped in their territory, and its appearance on civic coinage reflects how tightly regional cult practice was bound to political authority in the Kushan-period northwest.
These copper units are notoriously poorly struck, the result of crude local dies and inconsistent flan preparation — not collector wear.
