Beschrijving voorzijde Crude, degenerate effigy of a king standing facing, shown in profile or three-quarter view in the KushanShah tradition. The figure appears to be dressed in royal regalia with arms at sides or raised, rendered in a highly schematic and debased style characteristic of imitative coinage. Details of clothing and headgear are largely indistinct due to the crude workmanship of this provincial imitation. The overall composition follows the iconographic model of Vasudeva I's original issues but with greatly reduced artistic fidelity.

Beschrijving keerzijde Crude standing figure of the deity Oesho (Lord Shiva) facing, depicted before the humped bull Nandi in a highly schematic, debased rendering typical of imitative Kushan coinage. The iconographic grouping follows the standard reverse type of Vasudeva I issues, with Shiva's form and the bull rendered in summary fashion with little fine detail preserved. The surfaces show significant wear and the characteristic rough fabric of a locally produced copper imitation. The overall composition is recognizable as derived from the canonical Oesho-Nandi type despite the degenerate execution.
