| Obverse description | Highly schematized and degenerate crowned bust facing right, rendered in a bold but abstracted style characteristic of late Sindhi coinage. The crown is depicted as a broad horizontal band surmounted by a simplified stepped or tiered element. The facial features are reduced to a schematic form, with the neck and lower bust visible below. A dot is present in the central field, and the entire design is enclosed within a border of dots along the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large, boldly struck trident (trishula) with three upward-pointing prongs and a prominent central shaft terminating in a globular finial at the base, a sacred Hindu symbol. The trident occupies the majority of the flan. Surrounding the central device, the ruler's name and title are inscribed in Brahmi script arranged around the field, reading Sri Yasaaditya. The execution is characteristic of the schematized, provincial hammered style of early medieval Sindh. |
