| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a schematic representation of a fire altar or trident-like symbol, flanked on either side by attendant figures rendered in a highly abbreviated Brahmi-derived style. The design reflects the syncretic Hindu-Buddhist-Sasanian artistic tradition prevalent in 7th-century Sindh. Surrounding the central device are Brahmi aksharas reading the royal epithet of the issuing ruler. The flan is irregularly shaped and the strike slightly off-centre, as is typical of hammered silver dammas of this period. The overall composition is bold yet archaic in execution. |

The damma was the fractional silver unit that sustained everyday commerce across early medieval Sindh, a region whose trade networks stretched from the Arabian Peninsula into the subcontinent's interior long before the Umayyad conquest of 711 AD. Prachandentra issues predate that conquest, placing this piece in the last generations of independent Hindu rule in the lower Indus valley — a political order that collapsed with remarkable speed once Muhammad bin Qasim's forces crossed the region.
