| Obverse description | Schematized bust of a ruler facing right, rendered in a highly stylized, degenerate manner derived from Sasanian prototypes. The bust occupies the central field, surrounded by a Brahmi legend arranged in a circular or partial circular disposition around the periphery. Dotted border elements punctuate the field around the central device. The die work is characteristic of early medieval Indian coinage, with bold but crude strokes typical of hammered Damma coinage of the Gurjara rulers of Bharuch. |

| Reverse description | Reverse entirely blank and uninscribed, presenting a plain, flat flan surface with no design elements, legends, or decorative motifs. The surface exhibits the natural irregularities and flow lines consistent with a hammered silver flan of this period. This uniface treatment is characteristic of the early Damma coinage of the Gurjara dynasty of Bharuch. |
