| 表面の説明 | Degraded bust of a ruler facing right, derived from late Sasanian prototypes, bearing an elaborate diadem with ribbons and a distinctive crescent-and-pellet ornament surmounting the headdress. The effigy is rendered in a schematic, increasingly abstracted style characteristic of early Gurjara imitative coinage, with visible beaded necklace and hair locks rendered as clustered pellets to the left of the bust. Ribbons of the diadem trail behind the head. The overall treatment reflects a progressive stylization away from the original Sasanian model. |

| 裏面の説明 | Crude and highly schematized depiction of a Sasanian fire altar at centre, flanked by two attendants standing in profile, rendered in an increasingly degenerate imitative style typical of early Gurjara issues. The altar and figures are reduced to abstract linear elements, retaining the general compositional arrangement of the Sasanian prototype while losing much iconographic precision. A dotted border encircles the entire reverse field. The fire altar retains a vestigial stepped base, and the attendants' heads are visible as rounded protrusions to either side. |

The Gadhaiya coinage emerged from the collapse of Gupta imperial authority across western India, with local rulers — likely Gurjara chieftains — adapting the late Gupta silver drachm into a progressively abstracted series that would continue evolving for several centuries. These early imitations sit closest to their Gupta prototypes, before the stylization became so extreme that the original figural elements dissolved entirely into symbolic shorthand. The series is notoriously difficult to sequence, and attributions to specific issuing polities remain contested among South Asian numismatists.
