| Obverse description | Degraded bust or figure in profile occupying the central field, rendered in a schematic, highly abstracted style characteristic of post-Sasanian Indo-Arab coinage of Sindh. The design derives ultimately from Sasanian royal portraiture, though the iconographic details are reduced to stylised linear strokes. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck silver damma production. Traces of a radiating or flame-like nimbus surround the central motif. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned. |
