Beschrijving voorzijde A caparisoned boar (Varaha), the dynastic emblem of the Chalukyas, depicted in profile standing to the left within an ornate beaded or rope border. The animal is rendered in bold relief with decorative trappings visible along its body, characteristic of the Chalukya Varaha iconographic tradition. Subsidiary decorative elements and pellets occupy the field surrounding the central device. The overall style is that of the South Indian hammered gold coinage of the late first millennium, with a vigorous, stylized treatment of the figure.

Beschrijving keerzijde A schematically rendered South Indian temple gopura (gateway tower) depicted frontally, showing a multi-tiered superstructure with a domed finial at the apex, horizontal mouldings representing successive tiers, and flanking pilasters or decorative elements at the sides. The base of the structure features an elaborately detailed entrance portal with steps, and the surrounding field is filled with pellets and decorative motifs. The overall composition is characteristic of the Chalukya temple-type pagoda coinage, reflecting the dynasty's close association with Hindu temple patronage.
