正面描述 Toramana depicted as a mounted warrior advancing to the right on a caparisoned horse, his body turned to engage a rearing lion before him; the king thrusts his sword through the open mouth of the lion in a dramatic lion-slayer composition. A schematic garuda standard rises above the horse's head. A Brahmi letter, interpreted as Ru or U — possibly referencing Udayaditya or the city of Ujjayini — appears below the horse in the field. The scene is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style characteristic of late Alchon Hunnic gold coinage.

附加信息

Toramana's reign marked the deepest Alchon penetration into the Indian subcontinent, with his forces pushing through the Punjab and into Eran, where an inscription dated to his rule confirms control of central India by around 510 AD. The lion-slayer type is understood to derive from Gupta royal iconography deliberately appropriated to assert legitimacy over conquered territory — a conqueror adopting the visual grammar of the defeated.

Göbl's classification of this type sits within a broader numismatic problem: Alchon mint attributions remain genuinely unresolved, and "unknown mint" is not a cataloging convenience but an honest reflection of the scholarship.
