| Reverse description | Central field features a trident (trishula), the emblem of Shaivite authority, rendered in stylized relief on a plain ground. The device is flanked by attendant symbols and encircled by a continuous Brahmi legend occupying the full periphery of the flan. The inscription runs clockwise and is executed in the characteristic cursive Brahmi script of the western Indian early medieval tradition. The overall composition reflects the Maitraka dynastic convention of pairing royal imagery with Shaivite religious symbolism. |
