| Reverse description | The goddess Lakshmi is depicted seated facing on a lotus throne, shown with a nimbus (halo) about her head in token of her divine status. She holds a long-stemmed lotus flower in one hand and a riband or fillet in the other. To the right of the figure, a Brahmi legend reads Sri Prakasadityah, a royal epithet meaning 'Illustrious Sun of Light', identifying the issuing ruler. The reverse composition follows Gupta-period iconographic conventions, reflecting the cultural assimilation of Alchon Hunnic rulers into Indian religious and numismatic traditions. |
