| Reverse description | A recumbent humped bull (Nandi) facing left occupies the lower portion of the field, rendered in a stylized manner with schematic musculature. Above the bull, a Nagari legend in degenerate script reads 'Sri Samanta Deva', identifying the issuing authority. A dotted border runs along the upper periphery of the flan. The reverse design follows the established iconographic convention of the Hindu Shahi bull-and-legend type, though the execution is coarser than official issues, consistent with a contemporary imitative or counterfeit striking. |
