Beschrijving keerzijde A six-arched hill (symbolising the sacred mountain) surmounted by a Nandipada symbol occupies the central field, with a swastika device placed above. A standard appears to the left of the hill, while a railed tree (Bodhi tree within a railing) is positioned to the right; a river or wavy line is depicted along the lower field. A Kharosthi legend encircles the devices, consistent with the bilingual epigraphic convention characteristic of Kuninda coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

The Kuninda kingdom occupied the Himalayan foothills of what is now Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and Amoghabhuti is the only ruler of the dynasty attested by name on coinage — making him the sole fixed chronological anchor for the entire sequence. Whether he was a single king or a dynastic title remains contested among scholars. The silver drachms attributed to him show strong Mauryan and later Indo-Greek influence in their execution, suggesting the kingdom was actively engaged with the numismatic conventions of more powerful neighbors rather than isolated from them.
