Obverse description Royal effigy of King Koziya standing in three-quarter view facing right, holding a scepter in the right hand. The figure is rendered in a crude but characteristic Indo-Parthian style with visible drapery. A Brahmi legend naming the king is disposed around or adjacent to the royal effigy in the field.

Reverse description A swastika symbol positioned to the right of center within the field, serving as the principal reverse type. A Brahmi legend is arranged around the periphery of the flan. The die work is characteristic of the debased, locally produced copper coinage of the Paratarajas, with irregular flan and crude engraving typical of the later series.
