| Obverse description | Bust of the king depicted in left profile, nimbed, standing in a formal regal posture; he grasps a longbow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, conveying the classic archer type iconography of the Later Gupta series. A Garuda standard rises in the left field, serving as a dynastic emblem. The figure is rendered in the schematic, linear style characteristic of debased late Gupta coinage. A Brahmi legend appears in the field. |
