| Obverse description | Crude Hunnic-style bust facing right, wearing a small crown with two diadem ends trailing behind the head, rendered in a highly stylized and degenerate manner characteristic of late Hephthalite coinage. A debased Pahlavi legend, derived from Sasanian prototypes but largely illegible, appears to the right of the effigy. The design is enclosed within an inner circle, with a border of dots running along the outer periphery of the flan. The overall execution is rough, reflecting the provincial and imitative nature of Gharwal mint production. |
