Damma - Sri Yashaditya Cachas

Obverse description	Stylized crowned bust of the king facing right, rendered in a debased but recognizable Indo-Sasanian artistic tradition. A retrograde swastika appears in the field before the royal effigy, serving as an auspicious dynastic symbol. The crown is depicted with pellet ornaments, consistent with late Rai and early Brahmanabad-period coinage of Sindh. The flan is irregular and the die engraving exhibits the characteristic boldness of hammered silver issues from this region. The overall design reflects the transitional numismatic style of pre-Islamic Sindh.

Reverse description	Central field dominated by a stylized trishula (trident), a Shaivite religious emblem commonly employed on the coinage of the Hindu rulers of Sindh. The trident is flanked by Brahmi script legends reading Sri Yashaditya, identifying the issuing ruler. The design is boldly struck on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered silver dammas of this series. Pellets and decorative elements fill the surrounding field, consistent with the artistic conventions of late 7th- to early 8th-century Sindhi coinage. The inscription and symbol together affirm both the religious and political authority of the issuer.
