Obverse description Mounted horseman advancing to right, depicted in profile astride a horse in full stride. The rider appears in a dynamic pose with the field surrounding the central device bordered by a ring of pellets. The die work is characteristic of the Indo-Greek influenced style of the Apracharaja series, with the horse's musculature rendered in low relief typical of locally produced copper coinage.

Reverse description Standing female figure, identified as Pallas Athena, depicted facing right in the Hellenistic tradition, holding a shield and spear in a pose derived from Indo-Greek prototypes. A Kharosthi legend surrounds the central device in the field, naming the issuing ruler Indravarma. The design reflects the syncretic Hellenistic and local artistic conventions characteristic of Apracharaja coinage, with the inscription occupying the surrounding field in a circular arrangement.
