| Beschrijving voorzijde | King Samudragupta depicted in dynamic profile facing right, shown in the act of slaying a tiger; the royal figure is rendered with elaborate jewelry and a diadem, drawing a bow or grasping the animal in combat. The tiger is shown beneath or before the king in a prostrate or struggling posture, conveying the ruler's legendary martial prowess. Brahmi legend 'Vyaghraparakramah' (meaning 'He who has the valor of a tiger') appears in the right field. The artistic style is characteristic of early Gupta craftsmanship, with fluid, naturalistic modeling of the human figure in high relief. The irregular flan is typical of the hammered gold dinars of the Gupta series. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing goddess, identified as Lakshmi, depicted facing forward in a graceful tribhanga posture upon a stylized lotus or low platform. She holds a cornucopia or danda in one hand and a fillet or lotus in the other, with a crescent and additional symbols flanking her in the field. A royal tamgha or dynastic emblem may appear to the side. The Brahmi legend 'Samudraguptah' is inscribed in the right field, identifying the issuing monarch. The reverse composition reflects the Gupta aesthetic tradition of divine feminine imagery associated with royal legitimacy and prosperity. |
