| Reverse description | Central device depicting a three-arched hill or chaitya symbol surmounted by a crescent and pellets, a conventional reverse type of the Western Satraps. Surrounding the central symbol is a circular Brahmi legend filling the entire field, rendered in the cursive late Satrap style with individual akshara characters arranged concentrically. The design is characteristic of the debased and schematized reverse types seen on Abhira-period Satrap issues. Secondary motifs including a river or wavy line device may appear in the lower register. The overall execution is typical of hammered coinage produced under the late Western Satrap and Abhira usurper rulers. |
